I got a 1984 bronco ii it has a 2.8 v6
I was trying to get a new flywheel for the 1984 but there's nothing I can find new but the 1985 bronco ii has a 2,8 so I got one for the 85.the difference is the middle is thicker on the 85 so my original bolt are to short what should I do.went to Lowe's don't have metric grade 8 thanks for the help
 
No website that I know of. I saw you were in Burnsville so I figured they wouldn't be too far away if it came down to it.
 
Those are M10x1.0 it appears. That's a kick in the balls, as that's an extra fine thread for an M10 and not very common. Have you measured depth to see what its supposed to be? It sounds like the OEM bolts are listed as 41mm long according to Ford Parts catalog I saw (Ford part number E3TZ-6379-D) and the pictures in this thread seem to agree with that (overall 45mm, but only 41mm of threaded length).

89 2.9 flywheel and pressure plate bolt search

There's also a Fastenal link there, if you're cool with 10.9 and a fully threaded body.

The closest ARP makes for M10x1.0 is 1.275 and 2.015 inch flywheel bolts, neither of which are the right length if you need something in the 41mm range. Again, not a very common thread pitch.
 
Ok so what I did was took the new flywheel gear off and put it on the original flywheel and it worked perfectly
