Default Bolt Pitch

I'm ready to reinstall my rear differential after I sheared the front differential bolt. I replaced the front and rear differential bushings, resealed the differential cover, polished (sort of) the scratched up output spacers, ordered new bolts and washers for anything I had to remove. The sheared bolt was 14mm. I assumed backdraft replaced the bolt?? Regardless, when I ordered the new front bushing it came with a 10.9 14mm 150 pitch bolt (Condor). The new bolt was about 1/2' longer than the sheared bolt and threads were different. The new bolt would not screw in the differential. I took the sheared bolt to Fastenal. They measured the bolt pitch and it was 200 not 150. I ordered two 12.9 14mm x 80mm 200 pitch allen head bolts. These bolts fit the differential. Everything I've read said I needed a 150 pitch bolt. Does anyone else use 200 pitch bolt. Is this going to be an issue? I was told not re-tap the differential from a 200 to 150 pitch (need to go up a size). Thanks for the help.
