eh....that looks like you would have to run flat head counter sunk bolts....which in my opinion is a bit sketchy for motor plates in a high hp application. If you do use those plates...I wouldnt skimp on bolts...make sure you get some high grade bolts.....i remember jim bitching that he has to go to havasu for bolts because theres no where local in that area that sells anything more complex then zinc hex bolts. good luck.

Good news and bad on the coutersunk bolts. They are like "self locking" with the taper, the bad news is the hex aprt is really small. Just use a GOOD allen socket on them. I'd get stainless and chuck 'em up in the drillpress, lathe whatever, spin 'em a pollish the sh*t out of 'em first.
