Message	I have a counter-weight that flew out through the sump & sheared the bolts. Not my car a customer had it & built it themselves. Lucky nobody was hurt.. Does anyone know the correct length/thread/grade bolt to use? I'd like to try best as i can to keep it in balance and i haven't been able to find anyone with a broken crank to remove the bolts from im going to buy some online then tig the centre weight using no fusion (no filler material to mess up the balance)
