F1 Chro-Mo Flywheel Woes

Got the FW all bolted up and in the process of torqueing down the PP bolts only to realize that one of the holes wasn't fully threaded :vash: Buyer beware...
Stripped one of the 8x1 PP bolts - any issue with using grade 8.8? Existing bolts have a 10 stamped on them. Local machine shop didn't have a tap to fit so this is going back to Grip Force. Any issue with removing the pilot bearing and re-installing in new FW? https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1387987075 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1387987075 |
The internet sells 8x1 taps...

This is why I do not recommend F1 clutch parts at all. When they work, they are somewhat half-way decent. Unfortunately with the amount of work involved with changing clutch components, I don't want to do it twice. So paying a bit extra for drive train parts is totally worth it to me.

On a side not Grip-Force was very responsive. Received a return shipping label within an hour of sending them the pic. |
I'm not sure what brand my chrome moly flywheel is, but the threads were a different pitch from the factory Mazda flywheel. Trying to find good metric bolts on a Sunday sucked way back when.
|
My Fidanza is a different pitch from stock.

My f1 has been pretty good no problems.

Just to follow up. Grip force finally sent a new FW with all holes drilled and tapped. OEM pressure plate bolts fit fine. 949 clutch/transmission installed, just waiting for a sunny day to try it out.
