diameter and pitch of rear end cover bolts? Hello all,
I am purchasing a used diff girdle from someone (w/o bolts), and I'm pretty sure I will need slightly longer bolts.
What are the diameter and pitch (length would be great too) of the stock cover bolts? Are they metric?
Thanks!

I have a TA cover on mine w/stud kit I bought already installed. He gave me the stock cover and bolts - 2 are longer than the other 8. What brand is it? Might be easier to just get them from the manufacturer.

Stock is 5/16-18 x 7/8 long. The two that hold the parking brake cable brackets are 1 1/4 long.
I guess you could add the difference of thickness between the two covers to get the new bolt length.

Ah, I love this board! Thanks man (and to all those who replied as well).
Yeah - I am just planning ahead. Probably need bolts that are 1/4-1/2" longer. It's an LPW girdle so I'll post up how much longer I needed in case others want to know too.
