8 3/4 Center section studs

[PostalBGraham]

I bought an 8 3/4 rear end a few weeks ago, and it's missing one of the studs where the center section fits. I knocked another one out to use as a sample and have stopped at 4 auto parts stores as well as a bolt store. No one can find a match. The closest I can get is a slightly larger metric stud. Is there a source for these without having to buy a complete kit? If anyone has one or two lying around, I'd like to buy them. Thanks.

You could probably use a grade 8 bolt & have somebody tack weld it inside the housing.

Just use a both with thead sealer on it for the missing one.
It won't make that much differance, unless you are going all
stock for juging.

Tack welding a bolt was our choice, if we cannot find a correct stud. I doubt I'll ever show the car, but correct stuff is nice.

Have you tried going to a dodge dealer. If your not in a hurry, they can order it and next weekend install them.
