Flywheel bolts?

So I am about to start my trans swap fri night and I just want to make sure I have everything.

Will the bolts from the flex plate work with the flywheel? Or are they too short? The new flywheel kit might have some? I havent looked yet. A buddy picked it up for me.

Do I have to grind that fin off the bell? Its a 91 ZF5 going in a 95.

I grabbed the skid from the 91 but are the trans skid plates the same? or cross member. whatever you'd like to call it.

Reverse lights... If I grabbed the little plug thats like 2ft long with the ZF does that plug right into the plug that would go with the auto? If not I guess I'll have to wire them up.

The flywheel should come with new bolts.

Be sure to check, if it's a LUK flywheel, the flywheel bolts might be to long.

If it didn't come with bolts, go get some new ones.

I thought you ordered a Valair?

be sure to use good loctite on the bolts also.

Well I was going with the Valair kit and a buddy just got a job at Bond so I got a Luk flywheel and clutch for almost nothing... But why would the bolts be to long? They have an issue with that?
