Here's what I use for my SLP subframes (3 point connectors):
6 - 7/16"-14 x 1.75" long (two at the front, one at the back per side)
4 - 8mm-1.25 x 35mm long (these are a little longer than stock because I have my driveshaft safety loop spaced down a little to clear the exhaust)

If they are two-point connectors, then yes, you won't need the four 8mm bolts since those are for the tunnel brace...but you will want to double check and make sure that the other hardware is indeed 7/16" stuff. It was for my SLP subframe connectors, but might not be for other brands.

Hello
This is just a suggestion and will save you a lot of hassle and time. I noticed you worked at a hardware store and they will help with the bolts themselves. But we manufacture a bar nut that slides up into the chassis so you don't have to worry about getting the nuts into the correct placement.
2-M12x100mm Bolt
2-M12 Lock Nuts
4-M8x30mm Bolt
4-M8 fender washers
4-1/2x13 Bolt
4-1/2 washer
2-Bar Nuts
If you have any other questions feel free to.
Thanks
Brad

fabricated up stainless steel hardware.
living in Ohio where winter salt use is prevalent(no,I don't daily winter drive,but have driven a few times thru Ohio and West Virginia to get to Florida in the winter months),one time removing the SLP subframe connectors(don't remember the reason for removal) and encountering resistance due to corrosion,it was time to go to SS.
Items 2 & 5 are the internal parts,items 3 & 6 are the external parts to use in place of flatwashers.Item 5 is longer than the SLP part to keep it from rotating in the subframe connector.
Bar stock used was 304 and threads were kept at 7/16-14 size.
SS requires care and caution in the drilling and tapping.
