c3 suspension bolts.

buddy gus has his 80 vette getting converted..while its away he wants to buy new bolts for the  rear suspension....anybody know what size bolts he needs?

More input nifty.  Which ones?

8 in long.  Sorry I can't remember the width.  Steal one off the car for a day, take it to the Bolt King or similar and they'll give you the right strength ones (grade 8?)

Cost me about $8-$10.  I can't believe the price they charge in the catalogues!!

cheers will let gus know...not exactly sure which bolts he means but im thinking its the long bolts...the car is 400kms away so a bit hard to rip one out.

Nifty;42
Those rear suspension bolts that go between the rear spring and rear trailing arm (8" long);30
Are 9/16 N/F grade 8
DO NOT FIT ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN A GRADE 8 BOLT AS IT WILL FAIL;38
There is nothing wrong with the rear suspensions 0n C3"s other than lack of maintaince;53
Hope this helps:spook
