8&3/4 housing diameter (A body if that matters) needed
I highly recommend what ever u bolts you get that have the correct load distributing flattened area and you ONLY torque them to spec which is in the 45 to 55 ft lb range, check the FSM.
the formed 8 3/4 housing is not particularly stout and you can/will crush the housing with round u bolts (point load vs distributed load)
I bought a housing and you could see on the outside and inside the indentation of the round u bolts that had been on it at one time.
