WTD: set of bolts for lobros
I'm in the process of building up a new rear axle setup.
Does anyone know where I can buy a set of 24 driveshaft bolts and lock tabs form the sierra lobro joints?

Got mine from here http://www.namrick.co.uk/ great service delivered really quickly most people i know haven't bothered trying to get
the lock tabs just make sure you loctite them in they have a habit of coming loose.

Good call Dave 
Also - DONT paint the sodding lock tabs - I did, the paint wore through and the driveshaft came loose 
Luckily I was doing 20mph in traffic through town at the time - s^&t me up though

Thanks guys - One problem I have is that I do not have one as a pattern.
Do you know the length/thread diameter details to hand, and the threaded length?

Hi Mate,
U2U me your address and I'll send 1 down to you - have a few spares kicking around but want to try and keep hold of em - but don't mind
sparing one to get you sorted
Or if I get drunk in London after work - I can probably chuck it out onto the platform if I catch the crappy First Capital Connect train - it stops
every bloody where!
Cheers,
Murray

and for goodness sake don't use torx ones, just use capheads!
And you don't need the "locktabs" even though they are not locktabs. I have fitted more than I could shake an armful of sticks at,
to many racing cars, and have yet to have a single bolt come even slightly loose, with nothing other than the bolt!
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Thanks guys, been off the air for a few days.
Ta for the advice. I have been in touch with boys at Quantum and have some bolts in the post.
I will measure them up when they arrive and post the info.

so - they are 12.9 breaking strain 8mm x50mm
socket head bolts.
I have just trial fitted them and (I know you said don't do it...) with the tabs and lock washer (I know - I will leave them out...) they are
the ideal length.
Hope that helps.
