Get the spring bolts kit from Rockauto. They are like 6$ or so.

Are you looking to temporarily bolt together until you can get new spring bolts? If not, and what you are doing is permanent, forget it. The gasket will not function properly without spring bolts.

no looking to use regular bolts to attach my Dc Sport axle back it has no gasket, which is currently off the car. had the spring bolts but they were causing an awful rattle that was driving me mad, so I took everything off until I find a solution. The noise was from the bolts because when it would rattle I could put my hands over the spring bolts and it would stop.

Some of the aftermarket exhausts don't work well with the short thread section of the OEM bolts. The OEM ones are: M10 1.25 pitch. The RockAuto ones mentioned above are threaded for the entire length of the bolt.

Got the bolts from rock auto, and there not threaded all the way on the bolt, just the tip like the factory ones so we will see if these work if not I will need to get new 10m 1.25 bolts to use with these springs

Make sure you get the stainless steel ones from Home Depot.

Ah. They must have changed suppliers. I have two sets sitting here that are both the full threaded ones.

That's weird. I am shopping for new bolts kit and gaskets for mine, and according to RockAuto, they are fully threaded with a sleeve to cover part of it.
