Wilwood Drive Plate Bolt Kit (5)

The Wilwood Drive Plate Bolt Kit (5) is an essential fastener set designed for high-performance brake system assembly and flexplate-to-crankshaft attachment in modified and racing applications. As an experienced mechanic, you know that OEM fasteners often lack the precision tolerances and clamping force required in aggressive driving or forced-induction builds where thermal cycling and vibration demand absolute reliability. This ARP kit exists to eliminate that risk—delivering the consistency and strength that separates a bolt-on upgrade from a bulletproof drivetrain.

ARP fasteners are engineered from proprietary alloy steel and cold-forged to achieve superior tensile strength and fatigue resistance compared to standard hardware. Each bolt in this five-piece kit meets strict torque-to-yield specifications, ensuring even load distribution across the drive plate or flexplate when properly sequenced. The precision threading and uniform head geometry minimize galling during installation and provide repeatable clamping loads—critical when reassembling after transmission service or engine modifications where vibration amplitude increases dramatically.

Serious builders and transmission specialists rely on this kit for any application involving high-horsepower engines, turbochargers, superchargers, or road-race duty where stock fasteners risk loosening or shearing under sustained load. Whether you're assembling a performance rebuild, upgrading a manual-to-automatic conversion, or securing a custom flexplate on a modified platform, proper fastener selection separates a durable build from one destined for catastrophic failure. Always consult ARP's torque specifications and use a calibrated wrench to achieve the full benefit of premium fastening technology.
