Drive shaft bolts - where to get them?

[Nosh]

As per thread title - I have a 93 Chim 400 and need to purchase some replacement bolts.

Any idea where I get these from?

Thanks in advance

Do you mean the cap head bolts which attach the drive shaft to the hub and diff?
You can pick them up at most bolt sellers. I just bought 1/2 dozen from a fasteners company in Loughborough

with Torx head, 12 point or "standard" hex (Allen key) head?

Yes - they are the ones.

But the thread on the bolts that connect the drive shaft to the hub are different to the bolts that connect the drive shaft to the diff, IIRC.....

Hi, just done mine (93, 400 Chim) so I hope this helps. Any decent fastener supplier will help you out.

Outer CV Joint to Hub shaft - M10 x 1.25 pitch x 60 Socket Capscrew 12.9 grade (Metric Fine Pitch)
Inner CV Joint to Diff - M10 x 60 Socket Capscrew 12.9 grade (Metric Coarse Pitch)

Go for self colour capscrews as zinc plated ones can suffer from Hydrogen Embrittlement if they haven't been plated and de-embrittled properly.
