The 3 bolts are 3/8" UNF on all non-Verto (ie Rover) flywheels. You want Grade 8 bolts.
You also want a thick pad in the middle of the crank for the centre bolt to bear on. I use a short 5/8" bolt with the threads turned off it. But some people use the flywheel bolt screwed almost in, , after removing the keyplate.

<edit> for those wondering, the Verto flywheels use M10x1.5 bolts.

No no, 3/8 UNF.

Doc meant "non-verto" as a clutch type which is found on Rover cars. SO as you have a Morris, you will need 3/8 UNF.

All Oz made cars are non-Verto, I should have been clearer. :wink:

Go buy some decent 3/8 UNF bolts about 4" long. You want Grade 8.
Reason-
If they strip under the heavy load here, you are in trouble.
