I sheared off the flywheel bolts a couple of years ago using an aluminum 
flywheel.  I contacted Jack Wheeler, who also had the same problem.  He 
corrected 
his problem by getting two dowel pins made, the same length that the flywheel 
is thick.  He then used the stock flywheel bolts and locking tabs.  He felt 
that he never found any bolts for that application that were better.  Tying two 
bolts together may also give you a little added strength:
