Clutch Fasteners
FASTdan - 8/12/09 at 12:49 PM

Are the fasteners that hold the clutch pressure plate on a special grade? Or can I just use 12.9 cap heads?

It's been years since I've changed a clutch and I cant remember - just trying to pre-empt our fastener requirements for our xmas engine change (gonna be hard getting anything over the holiday period).

Obviously under normal circumstances you'd re-use whats there, but our Duratec hasnt come with a flywheel.

Normally Ford used M8 x 12mm 1.25mm pitch Flanged Hex head Set screws grade 8.8 hex size was 10mm.

Might be hard to find M8 in 12mm length

Ebay item 150323633824 should be a suitable replacement.
