Re: Clutch Plate Bolt question
The flywheel is cast iron, so it is easily stripped if the bolt is over tightened.
If installing a Helicoil or similar insert use the pressure plate for an alignment guide when drilling.

Re: Fuse size
The horn power comes right off the cutout, doesn't go through the fuse unless the engine is off.

Re: Steering Wheel Slop
Did you check the king pins for slop?
Are the U bolts that hold the front spring to the frame tight?
