The threads were stripped right out of my bell housing. Bolt wouldn't even tighten. The threads on the upper bolt were really screwed up too. So what I did was drill out the holes and used a heli-coil set. Tapped the holes, inserted the coil and used a nut and threaded rod that I had extra from a past project. Now I don't have to worry about finding a metric bolt if I ever need one for there, and they tighten down without any worries at all.

that chart in the link sucks. 3/8 and 10mm don't interchange (very well anyway), 5/8 isn't 16mm, and they left 11/16 and 17mm off completely...

I still say that metrics suck! and everytime I need one that I dont have I tap it to the neasest SAE and go to the hardware store or the trusty old box of nuts and bolts . then I dont have to figure out what the hell size metric it is. may drive the next owner nuts ,but I will be long dead by then. hehehe
