Default Prop Shaft Bolts

I'm doing a prop shaft that has so much play (u joints, are pretty much gone/destroyed) that the shaft actually took chunks out of some of the bolts (pictures when I get the god damned thing out)

So I need to cut 2 of the bolts (one off the front of prop shaft, one of rear of prop shaft)


Does anyone know what type of bolts and nuts these are? Are they a standard bolt found in home depot, or will I have to go to a land rover dealer?


Thanks

NAPA has these bolts, if you are far from an LR dealer. Take yours in and they will match them.

Cannot use the hardware store variety, too soft and not enough tensile strength / hardness.

Don't the d/s bolts have some sort of a wax coating on them?
