Sorry if this has already been posted somewhere, but I have done extensive Googling and finally decided to make an account in hopes of finding an answer. I am looking for replacement differential cover bolts. I had found some on ExtremeTerrain but they are asking $10 a bolt. If anyone has a link to replacement bolts or can recommend a replacement cover it would be greatly appreciated.
 
they are 5/16-18 3/4" long flange bolts. Head on down to the hardware store.

I had figured you could just go to a hardware store and pick them up. I was just unsure of whether or not there were any special requirements for the bolts. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Would this be good?

Agreed but these are likely less than $1 each at the hardware store.
 
If you get all 50 you can share with others on the forum!

Yeah, go try that search at Ace or True Value, wont find them at Home Depot or Lowes. It's fairly special hardware. I may have a few hundred of them but they are the wrong length or have the wrong washer. I find and buy stuff like these bolts at an army surplus stores. While I would use a shorter bolt, I wont recommend someone else to do that.
 
Ace and true value is what I was referring to when I said hardware store. Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t consider HD or Lowe’s a hardware store. They hardly ever have the hardware that I need...
