I've stripped a lower rear shock mount bolt, and need to replace a couple of accesory mount bolts. Anyone know these sizes?
TIA.
Mark.

Thanks all. I'm out in the styx here. The nearest anything is a half-assed lumber store; six miles. "Metropolis" is twenty miles.
The `82 is decomissioned so I'll take the bolt/spacer along next time I'm out. You guys have told me which bin to look in.

As metric is hard to find, you could replace it with a similar sized and strength standard bolt and nut.

12x140 mm. I got one at a John Deere dealer.

I just did a TAB job. The bolt is a 12mm X about 120mm. I doubt Home Depot would have this, they seem light on metric, and its big. Try matching up to an SAE ( inch) bolt. 1/2 should be darn close 12.7mm if you need to temp it. Be aware that the spacer tube will not fit and you may need to drill out the trailing arm and shock eye.Use at least a grade 5 or better fastener. Yellow pages in your town should have a bolt supplier and most now carry metric. Just take the old one along. Be sure to get a new lock nut while you are at it.

Mark,
if i recall correctly from my rear TAB venture, your lower rear shock mount bolt is 17mm. if you can, cross check the other side to be sure.
