Amazon list the threaded rod with one day delivery: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078H6J4D3/?coliid=ISRITT0IKCK3V&colid=2HC5QQFJX9KXZ&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it

uxcell M5 Fully Threaded Rod, 304 Stainless Steel, 250mm Length, 0.8mm Thread Pitch, Left Hand Threads

Appreciate the info. I ordered new bolts for the pressure plate and flywheel. I went with Accu instead of Amazon for the rod and nut, chiefly because Accu's hex nuts are stainless steel, whereas Amazon's are carbon steel.

JFP, I'll take a wild stab — you install only Genuine Porsche clutch plates and throwout bearings? Myself, I'll have to go with aftermarket, due to budget constraints. Are there any aftermarket clutch parts you recommend? I'm guessing in your shop you go the whole nine yards — new flywheel and pressure plate. Wish I could, but again, I don't want to have to move to the poorhouse.
