1981 TA Body mount bolts

[eddossantos]

Trying to replace the sub frame body mount bushings. I ordered the OE kit from Firebird Central.

For the rears - the bolt that came out is about 4 and 3/8s and the bolts in the kit are about 3 and a half inches. No one seems to stock the longer bolts.

Any ideas?

Not sure what the thread pitch is, wonder if you can use a regular Grade 8 bolt. Will the shorter bolt catch the threads when you try to thread it in? Some times they would use extra long bolts on the assembly line to make it easier to line up, speed up the assembly process. As long as there are 3-4 threads coming out the back-side of the nut, that's sufficient.
