Not strictly A-Series, but does anyone know where I can get unusual fixings? I had to grind off some extra-long bolts from the rear shockers of an old Escort van, and I can't find replacements anywhere! Even Ford can't help! |

Checkout any local fixing suppliers if you know the thread size and spec you want they should be able to supply. Have you checked out any form for Ecsorts ? |

Not sure what size they are. I'll measure them next time I go to do some work on the van. They're unusually long (5-6 inches) but not threaded all the way along. The original nut is a weird square thing, which slotted into a kind of cup thing, but I knackered it (and the cup) when I had to grind it off to remove the shocker. |

minimum tensile strength for anything on a car is 8.8 shocker mounts are likley to be 10.9 threaded rod is often 4.chocolate or just "black iron" not really going to be suitable. |
