Ok I bought a used Strange 12-bolt and am going to be installing it soon, just got a couple questions.
First of all it didn't come with any bolts or anything. I'm assuming since the 12-bolt is a similar weight to the factory rear I just re-use all the mounting hardware?
Secondly is the driveshaft. I understand this rear comes with a "1350 yoke with crossover u-joint". I've seen a couple places that people say to use NAPA part number 447. I just wanted to make sure this is the correct part...

Please PM me on the ease of install (backing plates, etc). I have a Moser and it howls terrible and I don't like their design for aftermarket TQ's. Bolts keep working loose and are nearly impossible to get tight enough because you have to tighten from the top compared to the Strange and stock rearend where you tighten the TQ arm mounting bolts and nuts from the bottom.
Plus it is so big - I can't lower the car without severly hammering on the tunnel to make room for the Sphon TQ arm mounting brackets. I gave up and had to reinstall the stock springs because the TQ arm keeps hitting the driveshaft tunnel.
I'm about to remove it and replace with my stock 10 bolt or get something else.
