    Rear shock bolts

    Got everything mounted up in the rear except the shocks and panhard bar. I was left with 2 fine thread gold metric bolts about 80mm long. They don’t seem long enough and no have marking for the grade. I’m thinking these aren’t the correct ones and should have went somewhere else.

    Which bolts are supposed to hold the shocks at the bottom?

    I can't give you a specific answer. I can say though that any grade 5 bolt that fits will be fine. Unless something has changed they are 1/2 inch diameter.

    Factory Five shock mounting bolts in my experience have always been standard SAE threads. Agree with CraigS. I also recall they're 1/2-inch. Those fine thread metric nuts you have left over are for something else. Or extra.

    Thanks. The bolts left over are definitely M12, not 1/2”. They are about 75mm long, not 110mm like the parts list has under traction-lol bracket fastener pack. They are too short to go anywhere in this part of the assembly.
