ARP Bolts Pro Series Bolt Kit for Chevy SB/BB 265-502 Pressure Plate, 3/8-16 Chromoly - 230-2202

If you're diving into a clutch upgrade for your Chevy small or big block, you might want to check out this ARP Pressure Plate Bolt Kit. I’ve had my hands on these bolts, and let me tell you, they’re not your average fasteners.

First off, the fastener style is a bolt, which means you’re getting a solid connection. The thread size is 3/8-16, so it fits snugly where you need it. Made from chromoly, these bolts are tough as nails, and the black oxide finish not only looks sleek but also helps prevent corrosion. You want your ride to last, right?

Now, let’s talk about the 12-point head style. It’s a game changer for getting a solid grip when you’re torqueing things down. You’ll be using a 9/16 inch wrench, which is pretty standard, so no need to hunt for some specialty tool. And with an underhead length of 1.000 inches, they fit perfectly without any fuss.

One of the big selling points for me is the yield strength of 200,000 psi. That’s some serious durability, especially if you’re pushing your engine hard on the track or just want peace of mind on the street. Plus, you get washers included in the kit, so you won’t have to run out to the store mid-install. Just a heads up, though—nuts are not included, so make sure you have those on hand.

All in all, this ARP Pro Series Bolt Kit is a solid choice for anyone looking to beef up their clutch setup. It’s reliable, tough, and made for performance. Trust me, you’ll appreciate the quality when you hit the gas and feel that smooth engagement. No more worrying about whether your fasteners can handle the power.

The Story Behind ARP Bolts

ARP (Automotive Racing Products) was founded by Gary Holzapfel in 1968 when he noticed his drag-racing friends succumbing to bolt-induced engine failure as a result of poor-quality fasteners. He drew upon his expertise in the aerospace industry to develop a solution, which turned into a successful business nonetheless. 

Since its inception, ARP has been engineering and perfecting a wide range of bolts, studs, nuts, and other fasteners for engines, cylinder heads, headers, wheels, and transmissions. Today, ARP remains the undisputed world leader in automotive fasteners. Racing aficionados everywhere know and recognize the ARP brand and can vouch for its quality.

What Makes ARP Bolts So Special?

Located in Ventura, California, all ARP processes from raw wire to finished fasteners are conducted in-house, right here in the USA. The company continually improves its processes with strict quality control guidelines and is dedicated to producing products that are second to none. Simply put, ARP Bolts are better than the competition because of their quality materials and advanced processes. 

ARP prides itself on using only top-quality materials that are above the usual “aerospace-grade” quality that other manufacturers settle for. For example, while 8740 Chromoly steel has four different grades, ARP only uses the top two, SDF and CHQ. These grades cost twice as much as the lower commercial and aircraft grades, but deliver “zero defect” quality that you can trust each and every time.

ARP Bolts are built to withstand serious racing, possess greater tensile strengths, and can survive higher stress levels than most aircraft fasteners. ARP is dedicated to creating fasteners that boast ultimate strength and durability to ensure they last race after race. Its product lineup ranges from quality high-performance OEM parts to exotic specialty hardware for IndyCar, NASCAR, NHRA drag racing, Formula 1, and even marine applications.
