CompClassics, thanks for this timely and useful post.

My driveshaft is removed as I replace u joints and fasteners and restore finishes.

The existing flange fasteners were fully threaded grade 8 with nylocs. I’ll be changing those out for the solution you indicate.

Will be checking my rear half shafts as well when I work on that area in the near future, nice reminder here.

Other shear bolts I replaced to date did have smooth bolt shanks for shear, as included with component packages. If I find any others on my car they will be updated!

As many fastening resources/standards as I have been researching since owning my Cobra, I’m probably barely even at 101. I tend to take fastening solutions and techniques very seriously, so this is welcomed information.

Thanks again for highlighting an important detail! Brent
