GM discontinued the LT1 pressure plate bolts. Now what?
The size of the stock pp bolts are 3/8-16 x 1.62 if I'm correct and they are grade 5. I have 5 out of 6 but would rather use grade 8. Bought a Spec stage 1 clutch and thought it would have come with new bolts.
Looking on Summit but so far they only have 1" and that's too short.
Ideas?

Bringing this back up...
Has anyone seen these?

Also, has anyone seen an offering from ARP yet? Someone claimed they make part # H5AJ1.600-1L but they weren't listed yet.

FYI - He told me that 'normal' grade 8 bolts would not work correctly due to the need for a non-threaded portion of the bolts to interface with the pp; this is required to properly locate the pp via the six tapered bolt holes which align the pp to the engine and flywheel.
The owner of power torque systems, Jim, is very knowledgable and confirmed what my engine builder said and (additionally) happily told me everything I ever wanted to know about the saga associated with LTx parts.
$33 is a small price to pay to have things aligned and working properly...

Just wanted to say that I got my PP bolts from Jim at Power Torque Systems in the link I posted and they look great. I can second everything great421 said about him, interesting and knowledgeable guy.
Here's a pic to confirm:
