In the process of removing the brake assemblies from the '58 I twisted off one of the 1/2" bolts that goes thru the steering knuckle and backing plate. Does anyone know of a source for these or should I just use any grade 8 bolt? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2016 Posts: 226 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2016 Posts: 226 | I did mine last year, (1951 3100), replaced all of this with Grade 8 stuff. These bolts are just a standard bolt, most probably what came out wasn't G8, but they are not a special designed bolt, if that's what you're asking.
