242 t-case frt yoke bolts 1/2 head vs. 5/16

I need to swap my 89 xj 242 w/tag #5300 6097 that came w/1/2 head bolts to secure frt d/s .

My question is will a 1990 242 w/5/16 head bolts for frt yoke work for a swap out.

Saw the t/case at JY and didn,t get tag# off it, online parts catalog shows same t/case for 89 and 90 up to a certain month.

Hoping somebody might have answer:gee:

What size are the threads???? Head size doesn't matter....

This may not apply at all to your TC, but a '92 vintage NP231 uses special 5/16" screws with 5/16" heads. The undersized heads tend to round off, and when they do they often get replaced with standard 5/16" screws, which have a 1/2" head.

That may be where your 1/2" heads came from. If thats the case the DS yoke should bolt up fine, and I would use the 1/2" head screws in the new TC.
