I needed to replace the flywheel in my 1984 ranger 4x4 2.8L engine, but there wasn't one available that I could find. I ended up getting an 1987 ranger 2.9L flywheel and everything is the same except for the depth of where the flywheel bolts go (the center section). The original flywheel was 0.5in deep, but the new one is 1in deep. I am having trouble finding bolts long enough to fit the new flywheel depth. My original bolt length was 1.15 UHL and the new one needs to be 1.65 UHL in a M10-1.0 thread. Any help would be appreciated.

Man, there's a fastener place around that has almost anything you could want. I can't for sure recall their name, maybe Fasten-All? or something.
They're also high as hek
What happen to the ones that came off of the new one?

New one didn't come with new bolts.
