Perty sure they are just 1/2 inch normal thread SAEs. The ones I used were 1.25 inch long I think.

Those are for the flange type ...right..iirc
These are like 5/16 fine thread maybe..non flange type cv

found it..

We prefer the flat flange output on the 30 spline output shaft due to the fact that you can actually put a socket on the bolts that hold it together from the front. The yoke style CV joint is a real pain to install since it uses fine thread bolt installed from the rear of the yoke. Nothing like turning a 5/16" fine thread bolt 1/8" of a turn at a time with an end wrench. GRRR. Other than that, there may be details that a drive shaft shop would be best suited to helping you with.

Mine are 1/2 socket so I would say that the 5/16 fine is a good start. Mike I have 4 of them on my spare shaft if all else fails.

Oh yeah right oh. I have a bunch of those suckers if you need some. Pretty sure they are what you are looking for. I need to figure out how to secure my nut and bolt drawers for wheelin. I hate wheelin without my mobile OSH store.
