Folks, I am trying to mount a Ruff Stuff Diff Cover on my Chrysler 8.25 rear diff. This is the cover:

as you can see it is way thicker than stock and before I remove the thin stock cover I need to know if the stock cover bolts are going to be long enough to mount the 1/2" thick Ruff Stuff cover? I suspect they will not hold it.
The stock bolts are:
Hex Flange Head, .312-18x.562 , which sounds to me like it's a 5/16" bolt just over 1/2" long and thus probably too short for the thicker cover- is this correct?
So the second question is where the heck can I get longer bolts like these in Sydney? Would any flange head 5/16" bolt say 1" long do the job?
Any ideas appreciated.
