s13 mid-driveshaft bolts?
I found that one of the bolts is missing from the middle u-joint on the driveshaft of my 92 s13. These are not hex-head bolts, they are shaped bolts that lock in place to allow you to tighten the nut with only 1 wrench. Anyone know where I can buy these, or a part number? Or a size so that I can replace the missing one with a regular hex bolt.
I did some searching but I'm only finding info for the bolts that connect to the differential. Thanks! https://i.imgur.com/1WAwZQi.png |
I removed one of the 3 remaining bolts, this is what it looks like, you can see the head is shaped to hold the bolt in place and prevent it from spinning. I believe the size is M8 x 1.25, longer than 25mm but shorter than 30mm (I used a 30mm for replacement). The nut is 12mm.

Thinking about just replacing the 2 piece driveshaft with a 1 piece one. |
