Yeah George,
5/15" was a dyslexic typo, I also have to wear rubber gloves when I am work so typing brickboard notes are a challenge. Yes they were 7/16" 14 Bolts, but I gave up using the old allen bolts as they were harder for me to use. I switched to a hex bolt.
I'm not sure why they stripped out. Like I said, it was a second hand bell housing and maybe damage done before. I just noticed they were loose shortly after placement, and one of them seemed iffy when I put it in.
I have heard of Heli coils used on bell housings before. With that soft metal it doesn't surprise me that the bolts could strip. The first loose bolts perhaps compound the stress on the others?
