Just as important is the diameter. The original bolts "necked down" to a smaller diameter between the ends, which were a larger diameter to fit the steel cups. I think the two diameters were 3/4" and 1/2". The replacement bolts, like Henry's, are 3/4" along their entire length.

Go to Henry Portz web site. See the suspension bolts he offers. Much better than what the factory had to offer because of the metal they used 70 years ago...

Probably the saftey loops which "restrain" the spring from dragging on the pavement

" I had the restrainers fitted. "

What "restrainer"?

Henry Portz makes a good quality bolt for this area of use.

Hi,

No need to re-invent the wheel. Call Stan at Auburn Cord Parts in Wellington, KS, for modern, and stronger, replacements.
