I'd think about lock wiring those socket head bolts in, I've seen them loosen off from horsed up tight loads of times.

I don't think there's any official name for them - they've been referred to as "drive shaft washers" or "banana
washers" or even "two hole washers".
Word is that Ford still stock them.

That's an SS1 - yours?
You don't need the special "twin hole" washers - you can just use normal ones.

OEM the CVs and shafts come with a paper gasket between them, which compress over time and slacken. If you don't use the gasket, just boll*ck up
to FT, and then a thin smear of silicone around the joint to stop any CV grease making a bid for freedom

I've never seen one with a paper gasket, but oem usually fit either heavy section spring washers under the bolt or locking compound on the
thread.
