IDT any of the kits are perfect. Some bolts are 23MM long and they will use a 20 or 25MM bolt. The basic rule of thumb that evryone needs to know, is DO NOT use the bolt unless it protrudes past the cover 1.5X the diameter.

In other words, you have a clutch cover using 6MM diameter bolts. The bolts need to have at least 9MM sticking out when you slide them into the cover.

If they are longer, many times they bottom out and either break the casting or strip the threads. A hair shorter is ok, but it shouldn't be in an area where it get's torqued down properly.

And don't forget to take the cable holders that bolt to the case in that formula, it still needs the correct length of threads sticking out.

I bought "fastner guys" 200X complete kit and was very pleased. But, I did find some too long, some too short and the footpeg and suspension bolts were the wrong thread pitch. OEM is best for those applications anyhow............

"Ask seller a question" if your not sure about the kit including the engine bolts.
