Does anybody know where I can buy replacement hardware for the Pfadt driveshaft? There are very unique looking double sided studs and 12 point nuts that come with it. I tried to work through AFE and they were not able to help.

thanks for any guidance!

Try https://www.fastenal.com/

Maybe I should be more specific, sorry. I know who sells nuts and bolts, Im looking for a specific vendor that has this hardware without me placing a custom made order via ARP or Fastenal for example I suppose. The studs look very specific and even the material they are made of looks out of the norm.

If you have the car apart, could you post some pictures of what you're looking for? This could help us to help you.

He is likely looking for the studs shown here:





I tried Fastenal without luck. AFE does not have a part number or source.

I would run a stud not a bolt as the flex disk rides on the shank with tight tolerances. The nuts also have to fit inside the ends of the torque tube.

The original hardware appears to be custom made. All I could suggest is finding 12 point bolts the correct length and then finding a small sleeve that will fit. Another possibly is that you could find shoulder bolts which fit.

Thanks for the help guys. Here is a close up picture I have. I've also contacted ARP to have them custom made. They want ~$100/piece and will match the material if I send them one in to do a hardness test.
If I order 100 or more the price may be closer to ~$30/each.
