I am after 3 of the driveshaft spacer/washer things that go between the pairs of bolts on the lobro joints on a sierra 4x4 type driveshaft. they don't need to be new ones second hand ones will be fine.hope this makes sence

if anyone has any spare that i could have i would be greatfull

thanks

What size boltholes are they ? i'm sure i have some from a Sierra 2.0GLSi of which i think are M8.

I think they are 8mm holes Bob to suit the T45 Torq Bolts - which I'm sure
we all LOVE!

Your in luck,i just had a look in the cave and i have 3 kicking around.

Send me a u2u with your address and i'll post them.

What would happen if you did't use these?

I'm not sure but they must have been there for a reason.

I don't use them, and I NEVER use Torx bolts once I have ground the old ones off (Snap-On will not guarantee this size of Torx bit for the very reason of these bolts!!)

I use normal high tensile (grade 12.9) caphead bolts with no plates under them. I don't really know why the plates are there but I have had no problems without them on several cars. The CV cage is so strong that a bolt head will not distort it!

Oh yes, meant to say that the cars on which I don't use the plates are competition ones and on one of them it's with a welded diff, and I succeeded in snapping the shortened sierra shafts but the bolts have never even come loose (no loctite either) so I think the bolts are just fine without plates!!

Cheers for that

I didnt use the torx bolts either since i had a supply of caphead 12.9 in the right size,i used the linked washers because i had them but i have seen many cars without as well.

I got a set from ford 68p each. They come in packs of 5

Sorry to pull up such an old thread but I'm currently looking for a full set of 12 of these washers but can't find anywhere that supply them.
I've been to ford and they say they are on back order which basically means they don't make them anymore. The guy at ford recommended trying driveshaft specialists. Can't find anything via internet search.

I know a lot of people don't use them but I would prefer to have them than not if possible.

Anyone found anywhere that does them recently or have a set lying about?
