Good looking out matt. I forgot you ground them down a little. Hmm jigz your flywheel is aftermarket if the flexplate bolts don't fit. Looks just like how my lightened flywheel looked with the stock bolts
Any specific grade hardness?

I ordered the flywheel bolts from the dealer along with the pressure plate bolts. Unfortunately i wont be able to pick them up 'til Thursday so I wont be able to work on the galant 'til then. =/
well, the dealer told me that the flywheel bolts are longer than the flexplate bolts. I haven't paid for them yet so If they are indeed shorter still, i wont buy them.
I also ordered the flywheel bolts for the 02 Eclipse instead of the Galant.
I fucking hate this waiting for parts thing. I've been looking at my Galant helpless and unmoveable in the garage for two days now and it is driving me CRAZY! poor Baby G...
Hey two days isn't bad...I havent even driven mine and its been about 8 months lol
lol poor matt

Just so that this is noted, the dealers listing for "Flywheel bolts" for the 3G is the same size and length as the flexplate bolts. Good thing I didnt pay for them.
Anyways, was ATTEMPTING to put the trans in today but no dice. I ended up getting some M12 x 1.25 bolts from NAPA for the flywheel and one of the threads on one of the bolts stripped so I need to get another new bolt but NAPA was closed by te time I started to work on the car. So I'm going tomorrow morning to get more bolts.
I do have one concern though, with the longer bolts, once the two flywheel washers and the flywheel is on, the bolt only protrudes about a little over an 1/8th of an inch out the back, will this work or do I DEFINITELY need new bolts?
When we did Marc's clutch I think we had about 1/4-3/8" actually threading into the crank. Having 1/8" only threaded in may work, but it is very risk that it could twist the bolts right out of the crank and as a result stripping the bolt threads and threading in the holes too.
Atleast we know the OEM flywheel and flexplate bolts are identical now, the aftermarket flywheels are probably much thicker than OEM.
Meh 1/8 of a inch is NOT GOING TO WORK DONT TRY IT. When threading a bolt that has to sustain any type of force it is a must to have at least 1 and a 1/2 times the diameter of the bolt threaded into the hole.
Jigz just have them order you a set for a dsm 7 bolt they are like 3 bux a piece and the thread and length will work for you.

I personally wouldnt get bolts from a hardware store, I would only use Mitsu bolts in this case. The guy must have ordered the wrong bolt. The 7g/2g auto bolts are shorter then the 5spd. I get 7g/2g/3g bolts are the same part number.
7g for life!
I just ordered the 7-bolt flywheel bolts from EXTREMEPSI.
They better be the right length.
