On the diff 3 bolts hold the damper to the drivers side of the diff.

On my "old" diff these were T20 headed bolts

On the replacement diff the thread is different to these, the thread is the same as the propshaft to diff input shaft bolts.

I'm after 3 of the bolts that are the same thread as the propshaft bolts that attached the diff to the damper... no idea what head they are ..

Hope that makes some sort of sense !!!

got a 2.6 manual diff here, if you send a pic I'll remove them for you...?

Let me know

Yeah, they changed them around face lifting for some reason. Made them bigger. All I did was drill out the carrier holes and fit Nissan 200sx diff bolts as Vauxhall don't seem to do them (or do but you need 50 from Germany or something, I can't remember!)

Do you know if the older, smaller ones are hex head or torx head Might be an easy way of telling the difference as the "large" ones are T20 torx.

I may have some in my box of nuts & bolts. What sort of size/length etc are they ? I will have a look.

Same as these but with a full thread.  Thread length is app. 50mm. Thread is exactly same as prop bolts to diff

[albitz]

Had a look. Dont have anything that fits the description,sorry.

yeah .. but your bolts were Torx and smaller (and you threw them away !!   ) .. my bolts were larger and Torx (T20) so I'm not at all sure what the hell I need !!!

Just as easy to get some prop bolts, cut them down (not with a junior hacksaw ). Threadlock, job done

I was in the local stealer this AM for my cambelt kit, and they can get the correct bolts, £1.69 ea +VAT. I think Nige needs the earlier bolts (11097681) which went up to 2001.
