Default where to get dowel pins

Hey guys, I have been fighting a clutch install problem for over a month now and I finally figured out what it is. I don't have the damn dowel pins for the flywheel that the pressure plate slides on. Does anybody know where I can get some? IF anyone has some for sale please let me know as well. Thank you

A lot of aftermarket clutches don't use them, I actually had to remove them to install my clutch. I wouldn't think not having them would in any way prevent you from installing a clutch unless you really can't hold the pressure plate in one hand and just thread the first bolt with the other.

mine got mangled when I removed them but you could try a machine shop

Dowel pins just make installing the clutch easier. If torqued down properly then you wont have any problems with it moving. Make sure to use loctite on the pp bolts also.
