Honestly, I wouldn't touch them. I have heard of every type of driveline failure there is in Cobras. U-Joints, Transmissions, Differentials, Rear Ends, even twisting axles so that the white line on them looks like a barber's pole. I have never heard of pressure plate bolts shearing off. Coming loose and falling out? Maybe... but not shearing off.
