The ones I suggested to Mitch were Keenserts (the ones from Eastwood are
likely the same). These should be available through any good hardware
supply, cheaper than they would be through Eastwood.
They are really slick, and work well. We had a customer who'd torn out
mounting bolts from the rear engine mounts for a Cummins C8.3 engine with a
ZF transmission (this combination weighs about 2500 lbs) because the
aluminum bellhousing was a bit too soft, so I suggested Keenserts, and
they've had no problems since.
Cheers.
