<VV> Flywheel bolts

[Harry Yarnell]

We talking the bolts holding the flywheel to the crank, or the bolts holding 
the pressure plate to the flywheel?
Actually it's academic; if the hub bolts, could be they put the clutch disc 
in backwards, or used a Vega disc, with insufficient grinding of the disc 
(modification for it to work) and it chewed the edges of the bolt head. As 
others have said, if you can get a socket on 'em, use 'em.

Speaking about the Vega disc; whatever was the consensus of using this disc. 
it was all the rage 10-15 years ago.

Ok,
Just need to check on what I am missing here.  Was starting on
the reassembly of my '63 clutch job and noticed the flywheel bolts were
rounded a little on the edges.  Went to look at what it would cost to
replace them with a better set and I see the price is approx. $6 a bolt
from the vendors.  What is so special about these bolts?  I have not had
time to check locally, but they appear to be 11/32(?) x 1" 24NF, grade
8.  Can I dress the edges and re-install carefully or am I taking a
chance that the PO over torqued them and they could possibly fail?  Any
opinion welcome....

Thanks,
Robyn Wood
