Default bolt experts....

Im trying to figure out how to search for a bolt with the following measurements:

13mm hex bolt with 20mm flange
30mm long
1mm thread pitch
9.8mm thread diameter

This is what I measured with digital calipers. They are sway bar mount bolts (the 4 that hold the bushings to the mounts)

You are missing one very important detail! The strength of the metal. You'll also need to match that up. Its signified by the symbols or numbers stamped in to the head.

You'll probably need to go to the dealer to get such a specialized flange head metric bolt. (I expect its also high strength.)

It should be a grade 10.9 flanged 10mm bolt. A dealer, or Scoggin Dickey on here, will be able to get you what you need..

I also found this, while searching the net. It shows 82-92 F-body but its just like you described: http://www.spohn.net/shop/1982-1992-...oduct&pid=1140
