8-3/4 rear center section new bolts & nuts

[Cuda1965]

I am performing a gear change in my 65 Barracuda with an 8-3/4 rear. Some of the 3/8-24 nuts holding the center section to the housing were stripped so I know the studs may be worn too. I would like to replace all the nuts and the pressed in bolt studs. Does anyone know where to purchase a set of the bolts and nuts. The only place I found on the web was "Dr Diff". But the price with shipping seems high. Anyone know another source? Jim

The nuts tend to wear out do to the amount of times the third member has been in and out. But the studs usually stay in good shape. If you find a bad stud you can contact me and I'll send you a few. The nuts you can buy anywhere like Lowes, Home Depot etc.

If you can find a bolt & nut store, Grade 8 nuts would be more durable.

You might try NAPA. My local NAPA store has a huge Dorman bin of assorted press in studs and nuts. Pretty sure I've seen 3/8" studs in the bunch.
