Unanswered: Need Suspension Bolt

I need one of those big bolts that holds the front suspension to the frame rail just below the drivers feet for Manta / Ascona. I had to cut the head off mine to get it out. Does anyone have one kicking around?

It's a 14 mm bolt, but in a pinch a 9/16" bolt will work.

Right Grade

Yeah...I'm having trouble finding one locally in the right hardness grade. Thought someone might have an original equipment one kicking around.

Guys, try one of our parts suppliers if no one on the site has the bolts you're looking for. Also give me the metric thread and I'll see if my local nut and bolt guy has any that size in 10.8 hardness. I've had great luck with his metric supply so far putting wierd stuff together on Willit?.

I have had good luck buyiing fasteners from the Bolt Depot. Their metric kits are real handy and they carry chrome bumper bolts. Fast shipping also. /gary needs to add that link to the reviews section....

Two other sources for metric bolts:

McMaster-Carr (mcmaster.com)

Metric and Multi-standard

Both carry good quality stuff in many grades and materials.
