Are the flywheel bolts on a f7p different to a Renault 5?

As stated above problem being is when I tightern up the 7 bolts to the f7p crank it stops the engine from turning over freely using the crank? As I back the nuts off 2-3 turns it moves freely again :/ can someone help??

I'm thinking not :/ I need some around 2mm shorter

Alex, F bolts are shorter than C1J bolts ;)

Crank is 12mm thick at the end. So measure the thickness of the flywheel, add 12mm to it and that is the max length bolt you need. You can cut the C1J bolts down. The thread is the same. :)
