Holy cow, even though the question understates the torque (the geardrive multiplies the torque by the ratio) 12 5/16" bolts is overkill. The RD-1x does it with 12 1/4" bolts.
1/4" bolts is ridiculous overkill, too. I used 5/16" out of construction expediency. That was the size of the holes in the clutch plate after I removed the rivets. I considered building a set of custom bolts with a .045" high shoulder to center them in the clutch plates hole, and then be smaller to pass through the adapter plate. I considered it for about 30 seconds, then put an order into Aircraft Spruce for some -5 AN hardware 8*)
