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.

Thank you everyone for the quick replies and good information
