Hi there Spridgeteers!
It's me again. You can blame me for the stainless/grade 5 or 8
question. I just thought I'd let you know what's going on.
I bought six 9/32" fine thread grade 8 nuts/bolts/split washers and two
grade 8 3/8" fine thread bolts w/split washers. I also bought a 3/8"
tap to clean the threads. When I got home, I checked for sizing, and
the 9/32" bolts will work fine for connecting the end-links to the lower
A-arm.
*BUT*, the bots which hold the "squarish brackets" to the frame aren't
even close to 3/8". They look much closer to the 9/32" fine thread
bolts I bought. Since I didn't buy a 9/32" tap, it'll have to wait
'till this evening when I can spend another $10.00 on the right size tap
to clean the holes.
Hopefully, I should have the sway bar in, (with the correct bolts) by
the end of this weekend.
Regards,
Curt
