Diff Bolts
Ive just got a new prop. I didnt realise i needed to keep hold of the old prop to diff bolts. I only have two.
They are odd size - M10 x 1.0 10.9's. I have been to local engineering supplies place and managed to get hold of M10 x 1.0 8.8's.
Q - if i use 2 of the donor bolts and 2 of the new bolts what will be the effect? Does anyone know what stresses are involved and if the 10.9's
were overkill anyway????? I would like to think that being a much heavier car the Sierra set-up in a Sierra would have seen higher loads, but of
course being a sportscar the se7en is rarely driven softly.
What do you think / has anyone a couple of spare bolts?
Cheers,
Darren.

Best thing is to go to ford and get four new ones just to be on the safe side, not much cash for four.
