New bolts are on the way. All 8 have been center punched, scored, the drilled with a 5mm bit(roughly 50%). Letting them soak all night in WD40, and going to try and heat them up and extract them. Easy peazy [evilsmile]
Are you going to use OEM bolts? If so, I can get a set for you today so you don't have to wait, if you want.
Lucky for you those bolts snapped off because of torque, not because of intense corrosion, so you shouldn't have too much difficulty spinning them out.
Its pretty strange now isnt it. There is speculation that 160* extra turn instead of a 180* extra turn weakened the clamp force of the stretch bolts. Due to a typo on my thread it says 60*, now, i bit the bullet on Audizine, but here i will tell you the real deal. The bolts were stamped with JH (Chinese bolts) and came 40mm. I looks to me that with the combined measurement of the torque plate, flywheel, and crankend they should have been ~37mm to get the clamping force. They are metric grade 11, not SAE grade 11, 40mm SAE grade 11 not TTY(stretch bolts) should actually be given with the kit with helicoil inserts to prevent bolts backing out. I love clutchmasters and all their products, but this is a flaw in their setup... Rant Disengaged
