The older drive shafts were threaded, as in my '99 B1's ,OM serial #'s.
The newer shafts went to a tapped hole. Also are larger in dia. Sure those bolts are SS? I'd be surprised if they were. The shaft I just installed came with a reg. grade 5 bolt, non S/S. Don't know when the change over occured to the tapped end and larger dia shafts, but appearantly around 2000.??
I drilled and tapped my old shaft for a spare, as the threaded end got stripped.
