I can't find the nuts and bolts from driveshaft to diff can I just go pick up some grade 8 bolts instead of ordering from Mazda?

Just to clarify. You dont need tri-mix gas to make a full strength weld. Plain old Argon works just fine. The filler rod series is more important than what gas you weld with (argon, helium, "tri-mix").
