"Flywheel bolts for a Fidanza Flywheel?" Continued

[acemas99]

This is a question from the older forum "Flywheel bolts for a Fidanza Flywheel?"

I can't post in that forum... I have been on this site daily for over the past few years, but I usually find my answers through searching and rarely post...anyway.

I recently had some trans trouble, and while I have the tranny out I plan to buy and install the Fidanza aluminum flywheel from extremepsi: EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts - Fidanza Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel : Mitsubishi Eclipse 90-99 Turbo


In the thread shown above, there was discussion of Fidanza flywheels having different thicknesses; some with the same thickness as stock, and others being 4mm thicker. I was wondering if anyone has recently purchased the Fidanza fly from extremepsi (specifically the 7-bolt FWD), and what the thickness was relative to stock. I am trying to figure out if I need the longer flywheel bolts or not. If it is the same thickness as the stock flywheel, I am not going to get the longer bolts, but if it is thicker I will get the longer bolts.

It won't affect step height at all. It goes on the outside of the flywheel, where the heads of the bolts sit.

Thanks for the clarification...I might look into it on my next clutch job

Just a side note on this:

We typically keep these in stock, and current pricing is:

MD760086: $5.91 (7-Bolt Cranks)
MD952138: $10.02 (6-Bolt Cranks)
MD008839: $2.19/each

Before someone asks---All I can think is that the price difference between the 6-bolt plate and 7-bolt plate is that Mitsubishi likes drilling holes and charge extra for being denied the pleasure of one more.
