Recommended Posts

anyone no if a focus rs clutch bolt's (bolt's that hold the clutch to flywheel) are longer than normal zetec one's?

my current bolt's are to short to go through my ap clutch, only thing stopping me from fitting the engine and box now ;(

RS owners club, would ford have the parts so you could get some sizes ?(
