Anyone know how thick the head is?

Don't have the bolts I need and need to cut some.

Thanks,
Guy

the heads aren't too thick
could check tomarrow for you
what do you mean cut some?
I'd make sure their going to be strong enough
you can get a new set for like $8
I probally even have 5 or 6 used sets in the garage if you want to wait

Thanks, I was going to do the job tommorrow.

"what do you mean cut some?"
I've got grade 8's by the bin full and I was just going to chuck'em up in the lathe and cut the heads to the needed thickness.

They didn't have any at the local dealers and it's 2 days from the Newark parts depot. Only day the shop will be available is Sunday this week.

I'm really using them to switch the Neon to a PT Cruiser clutch (non-modular to modular set up).
