Default Jag Power Lock torque spec and where to get bolts

Gents,
I am going through a 70's Jag XKE Power Lock differential. I am using both the Jag manual and a Dana manual.

I disassembled the Power Lock to look at condition of the clutch packs while I was putting in new seals.

My mistake came when I used the Dana manual for the torque spec on the bolts that hold the two halves of the Power Lock together. It specified 65-70 foot pounds. Before I realized my error I stretched at least one of the bolts.

They appear to be grade 2, 3/8-16 x 2.75" long.

It is obvious the Dana Power Lock must use larger bolts than the Jag unit. Can't tell for sure since the Dana manual does not specify bolt size.

My questions are;
1. What is the correct torque spec for the Jag Power Lock bolts?
2. Where can I get the 8 bolts required? Is there anything special about them that is not obbvious?

Thanks.
John
