there should be threads for the pressure plate

I bought a second hand ABF flywheel which is the same as the G60 for £30, Sachs kits can be bought for about £100 and the bolts are around £20

I know some people have had good dealings with Techniclutch, Including me however
just do a google search and you will find many more bad dealings than good.
