What bolts for NP205 front output flange/d-shaft?

[dyeager535]

I think the subject is pretty clear.

4 bolts, what length/size do you need? I suspect 3/8", but it's been awhile since I looked at it. I've got a decent bolt bucket, but if they are larger than 3/8" I'm going to have to buy some.

Thanks!

7/16 X 1-1/2 If I remember right.

Well, there's one vote for 7/16", anyone else?

I think they are 7/16 x 1", 1 1/2" is a bit too long.

But we are sure they are 7/16"? I vaguely recall thinking they looked a little oversized when I took the thing apart, but that was over 2 years ago.

I just need to have a couple bolts on hand to hold the shaft in place while I manually articulate the suspension.

I just swapped a 205 into my truck so I can guarantee they are 7/16 (at least on my truck).

If my memory serves me right, back in my Vo-Tech days in '90, I replaced all the bolts on my Fords 203 for some allen head bolts and everyone of them was 3/8" but different lengths.
I know the 203 and 205 share the same bolt sizes but one uses more bolts than the other.

I'm sticking by 3/8" bolts but can't tell you how long since I can't remember and I don't have a spare 205 laying around at the moment.

Wes, the front driveshaft bolts to the flange with (4) 7/16 x 1" bolts; I verified this by double checking against your 205, which by the way, I need to find a ride to KS for. I can't get away from here now due to employee problems. Want to live the old west cowboy way? The "help wanted" sign is back up.
