PTT twin disk and flywheel bolts
To the 6 bolt folks who are running a PTT twin disk. Are you using the 7 bolt flywheel bolts?

Thanks for the reply. Reason for asking was a poster on DSMTalk mentioned the 6 bolt flywheel bolts where to long. Wasn't sure so I posted this question.
I did talk to Vicki at PTT. She has not heard of any problems with flywheel bolts on the DSM's.

I have not had any problem with the stock 6-bolt fasteners either.

The only problem I experienced with the clutch is stalling. If I do any engine braking and push the clutch in, the car dies.  If I give the car a little bit of throttle, back off, then push the clutch in, it doesn't stall. I'm completely stumped and I'm 100% sure the clutch has something to do with it. I'm thinking it might be because it weighs less (less rotating mass). The revs go up quicker with this clutch, but also drop much quicker. If anyone else has experienced this and knows of any type of fix, please let me know! Other than that, I love this clutch.  |

I had this problem. Cheap easy fix is to just bump up the idle which I did anyways to help hide the lope of the larger cams.
OEM 6bolt flywheel bolts work perfect, I never had any problems with mine when I had my PTT setup. |

I used OEM 6bolt stuff too and had no problems.
I heard the same thing "6 bolt flywheel bolts where to long". We even measured to make sure and there was plenty of clearance for the bolts.
