Thread: LT95 clutch housing drain and dowel pins in flywheel

G'day Gavo, Bolt size is 16mm with 1.5mm thread pitch, 20mm length overall. I would replace the dowels as they are crucial for locating the pressure plate while you tighten it down. Anything remotely out of alignment here will produce vibration.

Are these a standard size/length?

G'day grnrvrs, The manual doesn't have any measurements for these but I have a couple of flywheels here, one has the dowels and the other doesn't so I will measure them up later and get back to you. How's that TRB going?

Going well. The project has turned into a complete vehicle rebuild, every nut and bolt, other than the engine itself. The TRB is in a shiny rebuilt box, sitting in a galvy chassis. I'm in the process of getting the chassis mounts finished before mounting the engine, but I think I ought to use some dowels to locate the clutch cover first.

If you are using the proper flywheel for landrover application and not a truck type the dowels are 6 x 23mm with 10mm inserted into the flywheel. You can use the shank off a 6mm bolt by just cutting off the head and threaded area and rounding the end that stands proud of the flywheel with a grinder. The truck flywheel has a much larger dowel.

Thanks. That'll be easy. I think the flywheel came out of your shed... Should be the correct landy one.

Did those props work out for you?
