    Thanks Jeff, going to the hardware store that has been in business since 1938 and see if they have anything close...they have stuff long forgotten, and the largest selection of bolts around, it's worth a try.:tiphat:

    I finished installing the subframe connectors (bolt in) and put everything back together. This was a task, up and down, all over the place...........man, I need a lift in the worst way!!! Also did some painting in the engine bay, couldn't quite get it all with the engine in...........the rest will have to wait until I pull the engine...someday:huh:
