Does anybody happen to have the part number or link to summit racing for the pressure plate bolts for a 97 camaro LT1/T56? I tried searching summit for every keyword I could think of but couldnt find the ARP flywheel and pressure plate bolts. Am also looking for the bell housing bolts from bell housing to engine. Thanks for any info/help. T.

I found those but with it only saying Gen I applications I didnt know if they were the same as the LT1 bolts. Dont see why they would have changed them but looking under the LT1 option nothing shows up. T.

ARP DOES NOT make lt1 pressure plate bolts. i ordered some through summit and they would not fit, then found out that ARP does not make them. the pressure plate is too thick for the bolts to even get through it, let alone reach the flywheel. the ones speed inc. sent me were part number 230-2202 and are the same length as the ones linked above and ARE NOT long enough

larry at speed inc. did tell me mcleod makes some. part number 673-1502

Did you break them or just worried? I'm still on the stock bolts, they have been in there over 200k miles.

Well that could be an interesting question, anyone have problems with the stockers?

I've been piecing together my whole car and drivetrain for the last 3 years, i purchased the motor and trans seperate so neither came with the bolts for flywheel or pressure plate. And I figured ARP's wouldnt cost much more than buying new stock replacements from somewhere. But since ARP doesnt make them I guess I will just start looking for new stockers. Anybody know the actual specs on the LT1 pressure plate bolts? If so i'm sure a hardware store would carry at least a grade 8 version of it.

Mccloud sells OEM replacements. Or these will work http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ARP-654-2000/ they're about a 1/2" longer than OE but the threads dont stick out the back of the stock flywheel. Hope this helps.

I am going to throw my 2 cents in here because I am in the exact same boat. I am looking for 6 pressure plate to flywheel bolts. After careful review of part number 1502 on McLeod's website, the pictures are nothing similar to a picture of GM part number 10079898 which has since been discontinued. Does anyone else notice this? I am just skeptical. And certainly don't want to buy something that doesn't fit. I have a comp clutch I am about to install and there is a solid inch of material for the bolt to get through before it even goes into the fly wheel and the McLeod bolts look barely long enough to get just through that.

while I would be onboard in replaceing the PP bolts if originals were available....at 22 ft lbs of TQ they are not under alot of stress from a TQ/Tightening POV, IMHO.

I have re-used mine several times

Just wanted to follow up and let you all know that the pic on the McLeod website is wrong. I called them up and asked about this and he said that the pic is wrong and if you google GM 10079898 that is what you will get 6 of from McLeod.

sounds like the mcleod is the way to go. i also used a competition clutch. i ended up reusing my stock pp bolts

The fastenal bolts in the quote below is what I used per recommendation of Colin91Z

BALLSS

the pic I see on McLeod is not the right looking PP bolt....if they do sell the correct one for $52 a set it should look like the pic below

the Fastenal $ is good for grade 9. I did see a post where the longer length did stay within the stock LT1 flywhheel.

thought...maybe you could cut down the fastenal threaded part??

not sure if the unthreaded shoulder part is the EXACT same length as the discontinued GM one

ARP has the LT1 Pressure Plate bolt available, but they don't have a kit number yet, you need to call for a part number H5AJ1.600-1L and unfortunitly I don't know the price.

Does anyone know if using a non-stock replacement for the PP bolts such as a grade 8 job with an unthreaded shoulder is acceptable? My concern is that the shoulder on the stock PP bolts serves some sort of purpose. I bought some grade 8 jobs and it has an unthreaded shoulder that is similar in diameter to the hole the bolts go through. I just don't want the clutch to fail prematurely or have any issues once we get the motor/tranny/kmem ***'y in the car.

I'm using bolts I found at a hardware store and I haven't noticed any problems.

X2, I have had my trans out at least a half dozen times and multiple clutches, and I am still using all the original bolts: flywheel, pp, bellhousing, trans etc. Have never had a problem with any of them.

Anyone referencing this thread (as I did), ARP does still make the flywheel bolts. There is something wrong with summits reference system with them.

They are; ARP-200-2802

And they do come up on summits website, but not if you look for them via year, make and model vehicle.
