My propshift fits like a glove - Just pete said, as soon as you torque up the bolts, eveything seats fine.

I've just used normal 8,8 bolts like the rest of you, but whilst noodling around in the garage I cam across my old front brake caliper bolts - which are M10, 10,9 grade and are exactly the right size for the gearbox flange end, a bit long for the diff end.

So if I get a little paranoid about it, I may just order some more of the caliper bolts and use those. There's no reason not to use them, is there? 10,9 bolts are 10,9 bolts, reagrdless of where they where originally used on the car.
