diff flange bolts
What size are used for the threaded holes on the drive flange. ? They seem to be a very fine pitch.
"just like that !"

Sorry can't remember, but i know i tapped mine out to M10 and then used longer bolts with a nylock nut on the back, bit belt and braces, but
worked for me. Standard thread is probably metric fine.

M10x1
i've tried loads of bolt shops and they only carry them in 8.8, and definitely only hex head.
proper ones are 10.9, so ford will probably be best for some new ones.

M10 x 1 is correct.
8.8 will be fine. They arent torqued up all that tight, well within the 8.8 range anyway. I had to go with 8.8 hex heads because I had to make a
spacer for my propshaft as it wasnt quite long enough.

Hi,
You can get the proper bolts from Burton's for just 90p each. These are proper 10.9 grade M10x1x18 set screws so why settle for second best,
especially on a safety critical part? £3.60 isn't much to ask for peace of mind!
https://www.burtonpower.com/default.aspx?dets_product.aspx?PGrp=70011&PSet=98
The torque for these are 42 - 49 lbf.ft and I'd recommend a good quality loctite be applied as well. This helps to lubricate the bolt while
tightening as well as stopping it coming loose later.
Cheers,
Craig.

Sorry i thought you were talking anout the output flanges.
Thne ford bolst seem to have a blue coating to either prevent rust or to lock into place.

I tried that at the time but they were a non-stocked item and had a several week leadtime. Apparently they are made to order only when there are
enough orders to make it economical. Probably depends on luck if your local dealer has any in stock. Burton's have them in stock for next day
delivery!
Cheers,
Craig.
