Hi there Spridgeteers!


It's me again.  You can blame me for the stainless/grade 5 or 8 
question.  I just thought I'd let you know what's going on.

I bought six 9/32" fine thread grade 8 nuts/bolts/split washers and two 
grade 8 3/8" fine thread bolts w/split washers.  I also bought a 3/8" 
tap to clean the threads.  When I got home, I checked for sizing, and 
the 9/32" bolts will work fine for connecting the end-links to the lower 
A-arm.  

*BUT*, the bots which hold the "squarish brackets" to the frame aren't 
even close to 3/8".  They look much closer to the 9/32" fine thread 
bolts I bought.  Since I didn't buy a 9/32" tap, it'll have to wait 
'till this evening when I can spend another $10.00 on the right size tap 
to clean the holes.

Hopefully, I should have the sway bar in, (with the correct bolts) by 
the end of this weekend.  

Regards,

Curt
