95 drive shaft bolt size?

[mtrx804]

Anyone know the size of the drive shaft bolts exactly? 2 junk yards I called don't have any and the dealer wants 6 bucks a piece.

Didnt get the bolts with the drive shaft I bought for my torsen swap and just realized the ones from my 90 are way too small.

I had the same issue. I THINK they were 8mm but they could be 10mm. Get one of each from the hardware store and size up the hole...then get the grinder out to make them fit. I got the 12.9 ones so they wouldn't break. I think they had flanges on them

Mtrx804, did you call our forum sponsor, TDR? They have tons of bolts off of Miatas and are close to you. I even bought a used drive shaft from them. They have saved me from going to the junkyard many times!!

Yes, when I went there to pick up another part I asked if they had any spares and they looked but could not find any.

But that was as of Monday.

As of Thursday, no change. The drive shaft bolts are unique and thus difficult to find in our big buckets of bolts. Joe dug and looked but he couldn't find any.

I appreciate yall taking the time to look. :)

Might just order one from the dealer and try to match it up at the hardware store.

I just saw this post, not sure how I missed it. Thanks! I'll give those a try and go from there.
