Driveshaft bolt source? 5/16-24 1 1/4"
Well i was going to reinstall my front shaft today.
BUT I noticed I'm missing one bolt, bolts DC to the transfer case.
So found the size and length but can't seem to find the reduced head size bolts.
so a 5/16" bolt would typically have a 1/2" head but the OEM bolts have 5/16 or 8 mm head.
Really need to replace all four since the heads are worn and wrenches do not fit well....
So anyone one have a source for new bolts?
Mines 87 model if it matters.

I wished, most of the yards around here are closed, and one or two close that have any XJ's have been stripped of t-cases and shafts.
plus be nice to have new so the heads are good and fresh and not rounded like mine...
i did find new ones, but not for for 87, 91-96 so not sure if they're metric or what the deal is.

Had about decided to get some cap bolts but 12 point will work perfectly.

Well went to Fastenal and the bolts are special order.
So just picked up 5/16 cap bolts, grade 8.
put the shaft in and pulled it back out someone is fubared in the front axle.
Guess I'll be pulling the ring/pinion from a CAD with 128k miles on it.
Drop it in the non-cad housing.
was some slop in the pinion gear.
fun fun...
