If their standard they'll be 5/16-18. The cover came with both SAE and metric, but their thr black oxide garbage that will rust. You'd think for the cost of these covers they would include some nice hardware and some stickers!

I would get a Winters before a 9".......we used the heavy 9" in our sportsman in our circle track cars but used the Winters in our Pro Late Model. Lighter but stronger than a 9" and you can fit it on any application with bolt on brackets and you don't have to drag around heavy 3rd member is you need to do a gear change.

Are those rears noisy?

Justify all you want. The 9” is king of the street.

OMC Blasphemy I say!

Issue with stainless bolts is the quality. Been down the trail with chinesium stainless. Scott, if you're concerned then spit the bit for the ARP's.
