Hi lcm,
I hope that these are not standard bolts with normal heads. If they are, 
either turn the heads down by half, or get the conical-shaped-head bolts that Dale 
uses. If you don't, you will most likely have an interference with the bolts 
holding the bell housing to the crankcase. Why don't you use 1/4 inch bolts? 
Plan to rebalance the FW after you're done.
