rear end\torque arm bolt\nut size so i am doing my s60 swap right now and i had to grind down the top bracket of my spohn torque arm to get it to fit but now my other issue is i lost the nuts for the bolts that run thru the rear end housing and bolt the torque arm. i have the 2 long bolts still but the nuts must have came loose at some point and fallen off. i cant find the size anywhere!!! ive gone to a few hardware stores and googled like crazy. can anyone please tell me this so i can get my rear end finished please!!

A Fastenal outlet, or Ace Hardware might be your best bet. Or get a new set of bolts from one of the sponsors (WS6 Store,Spohn, BMR, etc.).
I thought perhaps Fastenal would be cheaper to buy bolts - they aren't - plus you have to special order.
Mike at WS6 had mine to me overnight - Iowa to Kansas.
On small packages priority mail is two - three days and cheap to ship. Ask your vendor to ship priority rather than UPS.

I would take a bolt with you to Fastenal to make sure you get the right size.
But as many times as I have been to Ace Hardware in the special bolt and nut aisle - still can't imagine Ace doesn't have the nuts for your bolts in the metric section. The bolts -they don't have - but the nuts I think they have.
"The nuts for your torque arm bolts - nothing is ever lost - just misplaced."
If it were me - I would call Mike as the WS6 Store and have him send you new set. When you find the nuts - I am sure you can sell your extra set for $10 since a new set costs $20.
