If you're diving into some serious work on your Vauxhall or Opel 2.0L 16V, you’ll want to check out this ARP Flexplate Bolt Kit. Trust me, these aren’t just any bolts; they’re made from high-quality chromoly, which means you’re getting strength and durability that can handle the heat of performance driving.
Let’s talk specifics. These bolts have a thread size of 10mm x 1.25, so they fit perfectly without any fuss. The underhead length is about 0.985 inches, which is just right for ensuring a snug fit without any excess hanging around. And yes, they come with washers, so you won’t have to hunt for those separately—always a bonus when you’re knee-deep in a project.
What’s cool about these bolts is their 12-point head style. This design not only looks slick but also gives you a solid grip when you’re tightening things down. Plus, the black oxide finish adds a nice touch while also providing some corrosion resistance, so they’ll hold up well over time.
In short, if you’re looking for reliable fasteners that won’t let you down when the going gets tough, this ARP kit is a solid choice. I’ve used them myself, and they’ve held up beautifully through some intense driving sessions. You can trust these bolts to keep everything securely in place, so you can focus on what really matters: enjoying the ride.

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.
