There are two threaded holes on the bottom of the differential case near the driveshaft. Does anyone know what size, thread, pitch they are?

I'm not understanding where you are talking. Is this a Sals or a Rover case? -
The bolt holes are the same on both. There are two small holes on the flat bottom of the case near the propshaft.Originally posted by Tim Smith
I think they are a size 10mm with a 1.25 pitch.Comment

It is on later Rover-type differential "third members". My '73 had this type of diff in the front with the Salisbury in the rear. The early Rover diffs didn't have the large rectangular block on the bottom. This block houses the oil passages to the pinion bearings and has 2 threaded holes toward the rear.Originally posted by Tim Smith
Unfortunately, JUST THIS WEEKEND, I gave my old one away to another Rover enthusiast so I can't confirm the bolt size, sorry...--Mark

Well I found a 10m with 1.25 pitch threads and it does not fit.
It is too big in diameter.
It looks like 8m is too small.
Any ideas?
Anyone know the size?Comment

Why are they there? For mounting a skid-plate for protecting the u-joint?-L

My guess is that they are there for assembly or something, but yes - I want to use them to mount a skid plate.Originally posted by LeslieComment
