It's a Ford-design axle that's been in production since Christ was a corporal, in a Ford axle plant in Sterling MI, with a 10.25" and later with a 10.5" ring gear. Not with a 268mm ring gear, but with a 10.5" ring gear. So it's no surprise here that the bolts that hold on the cover are SAE and not metric.
Now if it were a new design axle, it would probably be a "world market" design and have metric measurements as well as metric threads and bolts. I can't wait for my new SuperDuty pickup that will have a 268mm ring gear.
Man, that sounds huge, doesn't it?
