Hardware for OEM diff cover?
So. I ordered the OEM 08+ aluminum rear diff cover and reusable gasket. I'd like to get the hardware ahead of time and wanted to know what people have used with the thicker reusable gasket and lock washers. Everything will be stainless. They say 1-1/4" for length but with lock washers and the gasket will I need to go to 1-1/2" has anyone done this combination?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I didn't put lock washers on mine 3 years ago...and they are still on there and tight. The bolts I just bought in the link above are for someone else who is switching covers, and he isn't using lock washers, either.

Same here except I went with grade 8 bolts (allen head) and lock washers.
