Replacement hardware.
I will be swapping out my 3.07 dana 36 for a 3.73 dana 36 and I am wondering if you can buy new hardware for the upper mounts on the batwing. (Where the batwing mounts to the chassis) Are these possible to get?

Are you talking about only the bushings or do you need also bolts and nuts? Where are you located? I have a couple D36 bat-wings with good bushings.

GM # 11516078 would be the correct prevailing torque nut from GM and it should be on most GM shelves. The correct bolt has been replaced by GM with a # 11516664 and it's way expensive from GM BUT it would have the correct plating properties for use in under-car components. I'd buy new nuts and I'm quite confident you should be able to save/reuse the bolts. The nuts from a local GM dealer and use on-line pricing quotes as a "buyers guide"!
