Default U-joint straps

Well today I was workin on the car changing the fluid in the diff, I noticed that one of my u-joint straps wasn't tightened down all the way. I started to tighten it down when all of a sudden, snap. I stripped the threads off of the u-bolt that holds the strap down. The car came with the 10 bolt and I was wondering even with the 1350 u-joint, does the stock straps work or do I have to get bigger ones? Luckily this is my toy car and not my DD.

I dont use standard U bolts on mine, my moser came with standard U bolts for my 1350 yoke and I scraped them, I put a set of moroso caps on there.

Got them today and they fit like a glove. I like the quality of everything and the fig is perfect. If any of you have the little U-bolts for your 1350 U-joint, i recommend switching over to these.

For those that don't know what these do, they basically capture the Ujoint cap so it can't exit stage left and the DS follow it shortly thereafter.
I had that happen once......not fun.
