2G Pressure plate bolt

How much extra hight can my pressure plate bolts extend? I have some that extend 2.5mm extra. 5.5mm - 8mm roughly

Threaded end or the bolt head?

The bolt head, im thinking i might reuse the old ones as long as they can hold an aftermarket pressure plate.

Head size isn't a big deal, but keep in mind mismatched bolts can cause balance issues. I'm not pushing high HP but I've reused mine over 280k miles, 30+ years, 6 or more clutches and two different flywheels. No problems so far. YMMV

Thanks, I’ll defiantly reuse them. I noticed the unthreaded part before but didnt quite realize whats its for.

I dont understand what you're asking. These are the stock bolts correct? I see no issues.

He was talking about using the socket head cap screws instead, which are taller than the oem.

I'd just use oem and skip any potential headaches. There isn't much pressure on those bolts, it's the dowel pins that do the work.
