Yes, Ive used them before now. The only thing with studs is that its easier to locate the 2 halves of diff when they go together. |

Just my 2p..probably too late...but......If you could get bolts (or machine screws as they call them(thread all the way up) to fit into the axle casing,then cut off to suit for length,and fit a nut same as the thread(whatever the casing thread is) The 'new' nuts havent got to be the same thread as the originals?

Suppose you could saw the heads of some bolts (set screws) jus ad nuts |

Suppose you could saw the heads of some bolts (set screws) jus ad nuts You could but it is not good engineering practice. There is a reason why two different threads are used. |

The coarse thread is to stop the stud from stripping the thread in the housing. The fine thread is to increase the clamping force for a given torque. Also turning the thread while under tension tends to damage aluminium.
I think of the two options, a cut down set screw and nut would be better than using a bolt.
