82 u-joint strap bolts!!!
Has anyone found a better type or style of bolt to use with the u-joint straps in place of the E10 type bolt used in probably 80-82's?
If I strip another head
Lucky I have some replacements, but they are a real PIA to work with......may have to get the dremel out to cut the last 2 off

I guess I don't know what a E 10 Bolt is. I understand that some of the 80-82's used Torx Heads and some used 12 points, some may of come with 6 Points. Socket Head grade 10 are the standard replacements, your local Bolts store will have them. When Van Steel sells there HD Caps they come with them. Your 82 should have 5/16" Bolts.

This is what I found as a replacement.......
Company is FASTENAL, don't know if it is a national company (apparently they are) or just local, as there is one close to me. All they sell are nuts, bolts, etc.etc...
They matched up with the following.....5/16-24 x 3/4 Socket Head Cap Screw. And it is a perfect replacement and size, will know hopefully this weekend...A T40 socket seems to fit and also an Allen wrench, but not taking any chances, going to find the correct socket before installation, that is for sure.....at least I will have some leverage as opposed to the stock bolts......
