I'm surprised you can't find them at a regular auto parts store. But, if not, look up "truck parts" in your yellow pages, and look for the "Spicer" logo. Try looking at "driveline shops", too. These come in a kit with the strap and the two bolts. I used to sell them. Good luck, and...

Re: Need help with finding ujoint straps. (CFI-EFI)
The closest ones Ive found in the parts store are for a dodge truck. But even those dont have the small bulges on the bottom to press against the ujoint cap. None of the parts store ones have metric bolts either.

I never sold any of these for metric bolts, but it's been awhile. These are for Spicer joints in (I assume) Spicer yokes. The C4 main driveline is a Spicer 1310 series, and the halfshafts are Spicer 1350s. Try a Spicer distributor. I used to work for one. We sold them all the time. Good luck, and...

Just pick up the phone and call Chris May at 800-728-8267. He will give you great prices for the right parts. Just tell him you got his name from the Forum. They are in Kansas and have VERY reasonable shipping rates.

I was on Eckler's site last night (a rare thing) and saw that they sell 2 straps & 4 bolts for $19.95. Probably not hte best deal in town as usual Ecklers price jacking has got to be in effect, but they do have them.
