The V6 is running great. loads of fun. decided to redo the rear end, mainly due to leaking seals. The ring gear/pinion look fine, but the original 8 ring gear bolts were getting ready to give it up. 2 were broken off in the ring gear and the other 6 were slightly loose. the loose ones had worn threads. The ring gear threads look and feel fine with a new bolt threaded in. I have a couple hundred miles on the conversion, so I don't know if the problem was present before the conversion or not.
I am looking for the Grade 8 bolts to replace the original. The original have a short 1/4" shoulder and short threads. Fastenal cannot locate any. Does anyone have a source for these?
