Driveshaft Install

[cv2065]

There are 2 styles of drive shaft flanges, one aluminum and one steel. The aluminum is thicker and the longer bolts are for it.
I had several drive shafts sent to me until I got the correct combination flange bolt pattern (IRS bolt pattern is different from the 8.8 axle) and spline so I had both versions. In Paul's picture he has the aluminum version

Thanks for the clarification there Dave. I haven't seen that mentioned before. I have the steel flange, so I'll go with the shorter bolts as the longer ones bottom out about 1/32" from flush.
