Oiluj Posted August 22, 2008 Share #1 Posted August 22, 2008 Just an FYI. McMaster didn’t have the “exact†metric partially threaded bolt size for my half-shafts. And I wasn’t willing to pay $28 plus $12 shipping to ***dat on eBay for a set.So when ordering my new diff mount, I asked MSA about availability of half-shaft bolts. While they don’t show them in their catalog, they got me bolts for $1.80 each and nuts for $.80 each. Much lower cost! (and I only had to buy how many I needed, not a whole set).Just shows it does'nt hurt to ask...

Arne Posted August 22, 2008 Share #2 Posted August 22, 2008 If parts are sold new on eBay, that always means I can buy them from my local dealer for far less (often half), and pay no shipping.

7277 Posted August 24, 2008 Share #3 Posted August 24, 2008 careful with MSA nuts and bolts. make sure you ask them if they are from Nissan with the correct spec hardness. 1/2 the ones they give you (for other applications) are cheap ones from home depot...and are standard thread (not metric) to boot Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/29138-half-shaft-bolts/#findComment-257865 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oiluj Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted August 24, 2008 The ones I got from MSA are the correct metric thread and grade. Plus, I could just buy what was missing, not a whole set. The PO had replaced two with close SAE fasteners. I bought 4 to have a couple extras.

DeesZ Posted August 25, 2008 Share #5 Posted August 25, 2008 My local Nissan dealer is pleased to get the parts that I need as long as I provide the part numbers. They usually do not have in stock what I need, but get them through their system in 3 to 5 days depending upon where they are in the country (USA). Thus far I have had no problem getting the odds & ends that I need. Not cheap, but half the price of the guy on ebay..... no postage charges, either.
