I just bought a rear end cover like the title says and I understand these have bolts for bracing to bolt up but where can I buy these bracing bars or kit? Thank you

Does anyone think that they will help? If so I may make some for my 02 that still has a ten bolt

No, it's still a 7.5inch 10 bolt at the end of the day

Look at the link posted above and I think you can buy the set up for a far price.

Will this bracing bolt up to the T/A brand cover? That's what I just bought

I don't believe so . The cover with the brace has additional holes for the brace kit

Could you possibly be confusing the pre-load studs that stabilize the bearing caps with the axle tube brace bolts? I have never seen a TA cover with holes for the axle tube braces, and they do not show them in their online catalog.

Yes that is the cover I have. I thought those black nuts and gold bolts next to the logo was for additional bracing

no, they are to put pre-load on the bearing caps. IIRC TQ is 5 ft lbs...but there should be 411 on that with the cover

Well d*mn it. I wanted to stengthen up the 10 bolt. I guess I'll just weld the axle tubes and put on the cover.
