[Alpines] Aluminum Flywheel question

[Dan Eiland]

I have an aluminum flywheel that was custom made for one of my Brit cars and 
it has a removeable wear surface. The company that made the flywheel used 
the correct type bolts to secure the wear surface the the flywheel but they 
used long bolts that pass all the way through the flywheel and then they 
used lock-nuts on the backside of the flywheel to secure everything. Problem 
is there isn't enough room on the backside for the long bolts and the nuts. 
The bolts touch the housing on the rear seal and keep the flywheel from 
bolting down correctly, much less mention any rotational issues. I was 
thinking of just getting new bolts that are the correct length and just use 
a tap to thread the holes in the aluminum flywheel so I can screw the bolts 
directly into the aluminum to hold the removeable wear surface. I'm 
wondering if there will be any issues with the steel bolts screwing into the 
aluminum? My guess is that a flywheel doesn't see much more than maybe 150 
degrees F in temperature and if I use some locktite to install the bolts 
maybe this will work. Anyone know more about this who could let me know if 
they think this will work. The flywheel looks like one from Fidanza, but it 
was made locally. Any input is welcome.
