Well, I ordered the ring gear bolts from ARP and they aren't the right size. The length is correct but the shoulder portion is too large to fit through the hole on the spool. Now, for the past week (ARP's were on back order from everybody) I've been searching like crazy for these bolts. I've sent an email to everyone on ebay that's selling traction lock units or rebuild kits. I got one guy that said he had them but I haven't heard back from him. If anyone knows where I can get a set of ring gear bolts for an 8" traction lock unit, I'd appreciate the help.

Also, I believe that the bolts from the Mr. Gasket 900A kit will work also.
You obviously do not need the spacer, but if you are in a hurry you can probably get the 900A kit locally at almost any chain parts store.

Thanks Alex! They're on the way from Randy's and should be here Monday or Tuesday. 10 bolts with washers for just $20 plus shipping. Cant beat that with a stick. I told them you gave me their name so if you need any sponsorship money......

If anyone else needs anything from them, call them up and ask for Mark.
