'66 upper control arm shaft bolt

[David J.]

While replacing the upper control arm shaft bushings in my '66, one of the bolts securing the shaft damaged the shaft threads and the bolt threads in the process (of course it was the last bolt of eight in the control arms to be removed, the rest came out without a whimper.) In addition to needing a new upper control arm shaft, I need a 9/16 X 1 1/16th bolt with a RSC head. The shaft is the easy part, but the bolt is more elusive. I have scoured the web looking for a supplier but have run out of places to look. I am hoping that one of our members can steer me in the right direction. Thanks. Dave

I would contact Richard Fortier (former owner of Paragon). Richard advertises in the DRIVELINE. If he doesn't have it , no-one does.
