Note the standard factory manual flywheel cannot be used with the Stud Kit.
so what kind of fluwheel do you need then? the one they sell or will any lightend flywheel work?
P.S. ICE BLUE dam you like starting **** in ever forum you are in don't you?

An aftermarket liteweight unit.
Just a heads up to everyone, our units will work the OEM flywheels, and even 12A and renesis engines...
We are also working on 20B kits.

Copied and pasted from my in the works webpage:
Studs offer precise torquing of fasteners over bolts. Instead of twisting a bolt to achieve a desired torque reading, studs are stretched. Twisting creates friction, friction gives false torque readings, and the end result is a lower actual torque reading. Thus clamping force is reduced.
These studs are made from far superior material, applied clamping force is increased even with the same amount of applied torque over bolts. Stud expansion is limited, while inferior oem bolt material allows them to stretch, and reduce clamping force.
Studs are easier on front iron threads, OEM bolts cause wear and tear on threads. OEM bolts can tear front iron threads out.
Acoustic harmonic and resonances problems are reduced from the superior material used in stud manufacturing.
Engine expansion and movement is reduced with greater clamping force, a must for turbocharged or high horsepower engines.
Head studs cut down on piston heads moving around, why don't you think it would be the same for a rotary?
p.s. John, iceblue has ordered studs in the past from me, along with many other shops in the usa/puertorico,uk, etc..
That's all about bolt strength and clamping force of the housings themselves, which has just about never been an issue, with the exception of the far older tension bolts. These studs here will not strengthen the engine with respect to preventing failures due to housing deflection.

This kit is approximately 30% stronger than the factory bolts, compared to the 12.7mm kit, which is approximately 70% stronger.
Numbers are from...

If you're going to blow a couple hundred to strengthen the motor...why not stick to adding extra pins?
It sounds like people are trying to make money by creating a solution to a problem that never really existed.
