Reaplacing leaf mounts, Bolt size question

booblinker · 09-13-2007, 09:53 AM

My rear leaf mounts(where they mount to the frame) snapped. I Am going to grind the rivits off the front and rear mounts, and take the leaf all the way off so i can press the bolts out of the rear mounts. My question is what size bolts(lenth and width) do I need to replace the rivits that bolt the front and rear mounts back to the frame?

IIRC, 7/16" x 1"

Oh man, your lucky. I had that happen only it was the front for me. You should try snaking 1/2" bolts between the frame and the gas tank. You need a hand the size of a 10 year old to do it.
