On the stock pressure plate, there are 9 holes and six bolts... on the ACT pressure plate it's the same, 9 holes.

At first i was wondering if i lost some bolts (is that hte case?) but when i look at the stock pressure plate, it looks as though that in the 3 sets of 3 bolt holes, the middle one wasn't being used; which leads me to believe that i didn't lose the bolts to begin with (this is a pretty well organized install, believe it or not).

Is this the same case for the act clutch (use the outer 2 of the 3 bolt sets)? Here's a pic i drew in ms paint to better illustrate it hehe

are the red holes filled with bolts or not?

My stock pressure plate/flywheel also only had 6 bolts (12-pt. heads). You can see the 9 holes in the pressure plate but only 6 holes in the flywheel here:


My Clutchmasters pressure plate had 9 holes, but I also bought the Clutchmasters 7.5 lb. flywheel, which had 9 matching holes:



The flywheel also came with new allen-head bolts and washers, which I used with the new pressure plate (used loctite on them too):

 

thanks patrick... anyone else?

you didn't lose any bolts. we ran into the same question installing an ACT clutch into my friend's gsr. those three just aren't used unless your flywheel has matching threaded holes.
