Question for those with RB aluminum flywheel

I purchased a slightly used RB aluminum flywheel a bit ago. Upon looking at it closer today, I noticed that the holes where the pressure plate bolts attach to are un-threaded, unlike the stock flywheel which has threaded holes for bolts. So.... how does the PP attach?

Bolts and nuts. They are locking nuts though. Make sure you buy good quality bolts and nuts though.... don't want things coming apart at high revs

Yes, just nuts and bolts, mine came with 2 black ones that are for the pilot holes that must be installed through the tranny side, and then 2 silver ones that could be put through the tranny or flywheel side. Mine also came with aluminum spacers but I'm not sure if that's just for n/a or also turbos.

Also in case you were wondering about torque since you don't have the sheet that came with it, 28 ft/lbs for the flywheel bolts, 14 for the PP bolts is what the info sheet said to do.

Hey Lenny,
I bought that used NA RB flywheel from you back in the spring. It's now been on my rebuild a month or so - and it's working out great! Thanks!

Anyway, Racing Beat will sell you just the hardware if you don't have it. (Remember you found it for me afterward?) The post about the pilot bolts / regular bolts is right on. And yes, for NA's there are alum. spacers you need to hold the P Plate off the flywheel the correct amount.

I'm attaching the instruction sheet RB sent me. Check with them as to the parts you need. They're very helpful.
