I'm doing exactly the same project, and need to know where you purchased the bolts, as mine are a bit old and bent.

Go take a look at your car and you will figure it out.

Hi Tony, are you referring to the bolts that fix the K frame to the chassis at the rear via the outriggers. If so Brads pics are what you need. There is also a mounting bush that fixes to the outrigger arms.
If you are referring to the 4 bolts that come up through the chassis at the front, these are different. They are sort of pressed in from the underside of the K frame and seated via 4 rubber (with metal sleeves) mounting bushes. Is that what you need info on? Cheers Ron

Tony, here is a pick of the bolts. I think they are readily available at Restocountry or Rares but if you are just after the nut size let me know and I will dig one up form the garage. There are also some photos on the thread "K frame to body bushes" Cheers Ron.

The original four bolts that mount the k frame to the chassis near the UCA don't have hex heads, but those in Resto Country should work. I was able to use a sprak plug socket to do them up/undo them. You need something with a long reach.

Hi Steve. I'm curious as to what heads yours have if not hex. I can't be sure if they were original or not but the ones that were on my car were hex headed. Cheers Ron

They're a semi elliptical shape. The splines hold them from spinning as you tighten or loosen them. I have a few spares under the house. I'll see if I can get a pic when I get back home later in the week. The also have a point on the threaded end to help with loacting the frame and bushes, etc.
Cheers, Steve.
