5/16 with 18 per inch but remember that they are grade 8 and not hardware store bolts. You can always order a bolt pack per application from Ft. Wayne Clutch in Ft. wayne, Indiania, U.S.A.

I always go to the parts store and get actual pressure plate bolts. They have the correct shoulder on them so each bolt is centered in the p/p bolt hole and that keeps the pressure plate where it is supposed to be.

Machine shop should be able to redrill and tap the P/P holes at another location on the flywheel.

Reason I did not redrill is the shop showed me too many defects such as heat cracks already been resurfaced at least once let alone the botched up holes and they charge $85 per hour to relocate and drill & tap holes I got a whole resurfaced flywheel with new bolt sets changed my starter gear out the door for $110

Make sure the bolts are not too long, or the engine will not turn.
