[Chevelle-list] Ujoint Strap Bolts

[Jim Buckingham]

Yes they are fine threads.  Were sold as replacements but all four holes the
same thing.  I have to look tonight and will check them with my dies and
verify.
 
They should be 5/15-24 1716 long

I do know that those bolts should be fine thread. Are your replacements?

Yeah that is what I am thinking too.
 
Trying to find the GM part but no one has it listed anymore.

Jim - 
 
I've never known those bolts to be difficult. My guess is that they're wrong
and you should try another set.

I got some aftermarket (Advanced Auto) bolts for the strap on the rear
youke.  They don't seem to fit.  They are correct I beleive but lock tigh as
heck after about 5-6 turns.  They are no where close to being tight.  I
wonder if they are the wrong thread or if I just need to chase the threads.
Last thing I want to do is break one off though.
 
Any ideas???
 
Thanks,
 
Jim Buckingham
