If I cannot find a set of used ubolts I might have to go new & there's tons of em on ebay & & I would want to get the correct ones. Thank you for your time. RR
 
I highly recommend what ever u bolts you get that have the correct load distributing flattened area and you ONLY torque them to spec which is in the 45 to 55 ft lb range, check the FSM.

the formed 8 3/4 housing is not particularly stout and you can/will crush the housing with round u bolts (point load vs distributed load)

I bought a housing and you could see on the outside and inside the indentation of the round u bolts that had been on it at one time.
