Front Leaf Spring Bolts and Nuts???
Has anyone got the parts numbers / dimensions for the 3 nuts and bolts at front leaf springs and shackles please?
I had a look at rockAuto but can't find such a thing. And I'd like to get genuine Ford for this particular application when replacing the leaf spring bushings.

Many thanks!

@Shovelheadrob , I've ordered the bushings yesterday already from RockAuto.
I had a look at my rusty ones and they look like 10.9 grade M18 x 140mm 10.9 and M16 x130 at the shackles, but not really sure.

I'm not sure if they are imperial or metric, one of the bolts listed on Rockauto.com shows a torque chart & all the sizes shown are imperial. I'm sure someone will be able to clarify this.
If you can see 10.9 on the head they will be metric.

Is Imperial a British thread or is that British for what we call SAE?

Are they rusty? Unless there is s corrosion issue, don’t waste your money. Those are stout, reusable bolts.

What a challenge to get these bolts! Everywhere!
I've managed to find the PN in another forum via google, so got in touch with a Ford dealer in USA (Lasco), and they don't have and can't get them! They said they are in back order!
I've checked amazon, ebay, fordpartsgiant... and most of these place just don't have or have only two out of four PN, or they won't ship to UK. Or the shipping to UK is ridiculous coz they don't want to use USPS, only Fedex!
And, even here in UK, I found the sizes and grades, but need to buy at lest 25 of each...
Mine are all well rusty, and really don't wanna but them back with the new bushings.

That would be what you call SAE Mark, we also have a couple of older British threads, BSW, which is British Standard Whitworth & BSP, which is British Standard Pipe thread. Just to add more confusion they all come under the Imperial heading. Rule of thumb is inches = imperial, millimetres = metric
@steelandspeed Give ATS Spring a call, they should have what you are looking for.

Hey @Walleye Hunter @Colorado350 @Shovelheadrob Tks a lot for the input!
For some reason I didn't get a notification on my email about your reply, so just saw it.
But finally just managed to get it all together. This was probably the hardest bolt&but hunt I have ever done.
Got the M16s here in UK, and the M18s from Tasca Parts.
Pics to come!
