Default Toms diff question correct yokes to half shaft

Hello, my new project came with a “Toms diff” but no axle yokes. The axle out of the diff is a round, flat pie plate size round steel plate with 8 holes, 4 for pressed in studs and 4 for 7/16 bolts. I’m trying to find what yoke mates with the half shaft u-joint. I called Toms “tech support” (its not) and the guy had no idea what I was talking about. I see 2 on their web site but not sure which is correct. Any clues would be appreciated,
Don

The Tom's set up uses either 1350 or 1480 yoke flanges from spicer. Most likely the 1350 variety but you can check pn to verify.

Sounds like you have 1350 axles, the 1480 don't have dual bolt patterns. If the diff has been run hard you better look close at the axles and check the endplay

The car hasn’t run yet since the axle upgrade. Thanks for axle identifier.
