I was just going through some parts and ran across 2.  I really need to clean out the garage.  You can e-mail me at [email protected].

I have been getting all my spare parts together for rebuild. The upper arms have a shock pin like you are looking for up to hydro cars. The hydro cars had a bump stop with a 5/16 bolt. When they went back to rubber springs the used a 4.5 inch 3/8 bolt with a tube spacer. I have been soaking and shocking a pile of them and have yet to get a tube sleeve off. Ones like you want are thin on the ground. Have the ones with my 1071 and the Moke. Yet to find any more in my stash. Steve (CTR)

Yes that's it. I could not find it on the site, and I'd rather refurbish a used old one. So the call is still on for a pair of pins.

thanks for the link.

I was going to do that, but I"m selling a car that I was building for myself. Imron on subframes and all suspension components, Been sleeping for 20 years, no rust, fresh engine.  Now rounding up the bits to complete it. 


I built it up from a bare shell purchase and have taken the bits from my collection. Seems I haven't found those bolts with the built in spacer yet. 


Still looking. As this is not going to be my car, I'd rather the new owner have original parts on the car so anytime there's a maintenance or repair issue, he can look up the parts in a catalog. No homemade stuff here.

Yup, it's just a 3/8" UNF bolt with a spacer washer on it.

Should be able to find a grade 8 one at Lowes or Home Depot I'd have thought.

Does it sometimes look like a long bolt? Did you try Ace Hardware? They even have nylock nuts for the other end.

Anyone have one or two lower shock mount pins kicking around?


It goes in the upper arm, and has a shoulder bushing on it.
