Like Andrew said, I knew I wouldn't be able to get the proper legnth and the shoulder wouldn't be right. Have to hit the classified's and see how many replies I get wanting $30 or more!!

I also have used grade 8's when original bolts were gone from spindles on donor cars in the wrecking yards. RF-4C Phantom 69-370 Zweibrucken, Germany
