Missing bolts - location?


8 13mm long bolts

I'm wrapping up a clutch replacement and have these extra bolts left over. I can't see where they go and there is 8 of them 13 mm bolts.
Anyone know? How many steps backwards am I going to have to go to get these buggers installed.

Looks like the old flywheel bolts?.. Did your kit come with new bolts? Often times you get new 12 point bolts if you installed a comp clutch kit.





If you remember taking out the flywheel, these bolts are in a circular pattern around the center of the flywheel bore.

I put my oil pan back on tonight. Was going to re-mount the AC compressor. Can't find the bolts!! I'm sure they are close by, how could they get out of the garage on their own?
