Thread: Front spring hanger bolt

Fasteners Sydney | Screws, Bolts, Nuts, Washers, Sockets, Rivets & Wire

So my bolts turned up today...


Gggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I'm so annoyed. the only bolt I need DOES NOT FIT.

so I have bought a full bolt and shackle kit because I need a front shackle bolt and the bolts supplied does not fit the front shackle.

I have emailed the ebayer Gary to find out if he has sent the right kit and told him it does not fit my front shackle as the bolt taken out is a shouldered bolt and the one he has given is a fraction to long doesn't appear to be the right thread and does not have a tapered shoulder.

So parts going on the car has been halted once again

DB What you have is an early SIIa or SII shackle pin and plate. 9/16" shaft shoulder and 1/2" BSF thread.

Are the rest of the vehicle's shackles like that? May be able to help you out with some second hand stuff tomorrow - will be out at Prestons and can probably find either other second hand pins or second hand shackles to fit your 9/16" pins.

Hi Diana

The rest of the vehicle seems OK I think the rear shackles are different to the front.
Diana will the shackles to fit the 9/16 bolt be able to be used on this vehicle???

The length of the shackles (eye-to-eye) are the same, the difference is in the shouldered bolt.

The length of the front spring shackles are the same on 88 and 109

In the rear springs the 109 and 88 the shackles are different lengths.

Army shackles are different again.

Which is your problem end?
