Jeff and others,
The studs are M10 X 1.5, and as I recall, about 3 inches long. My ETKA
shows a part number 014 411 4 which is shown as 10 x 82mm. I'm shocked
that you had to drill your bell housing!
I also want to pass on a concern... I removed my crank pulley since it
is the wrong one, and was shocked to find the bolts barely hand tight!
I'm now concerned about other bolts such as the drive plate (which I
can no longer access). I hope they are tight.
Check torques!
