After losing my rag with the search function and the odd thread I did find not seeming to be conclusive I thought I would get the old camera out.

PM TurboDave. He'll send you a set of hardened allen bolts for not a lot of money.

Allen heads there.. Don't get me started. You've already got the best of the best. 1/4UNF 3/8 AF bolts. The best!

Two of them, the ones above the diff casing, are usually studs and nuts as the proximity of the diff casing stops the right length bolt from going in.

We spent months on it, will move it to the homepage shortly so it's easier to find. |

There is no problem getting socket cap screw head bolts above the diff casing. A cut-down allen key makes life easier however!

Or if you're feeling flush you can buy the short ended allen keys from snap on for about £20 a set. I found them real easy on mine. |

When you find a cut down allen key with a ratchet on it I'd agree

That's easy - the cut off bit of the allen key and a ratchet spanner of the same size. |

Also, you're missing one in your photo - the dowel at the top left is hollow - a nut and bolt goes through it with large thick washers, one is a special shape. I thought that about the studs & nuts, i've got another block here that has those 2 studs but this one doesnt. Well spotted for the longer bolt thru the dowel, thats included in TurboDaves kit :) |

Looking at mine more closely I'm now thinking the two studs/nuts are a throwback to the magic wand / remote boxes where access was even worse.

The PDF gavin posted is not 100% accurate though - it doesn't show the 5/16 bolts in the diff housing... On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:

I use MS24665-8 bi-hex bolts, the head takes a 5/16 socket.
