W3rd. Anyone need any socket head M12/1.75 bolts, 40mm, 12.9 grade? I have 16 extra from a project that needed 4...

Steel rusts? I'm out. J/K I'll take a pair as soon as they're ready. How 'bout aluminum? 5/16 or 3/8 thick? They would be much easier on your tools...

They accept 3/8-16 hardware- problem is, depending on your application, the length will vary- i.e. a bolt in c-notch will require a .25" longer bolt up top. That should be the only real variable.

Slams call for 5/8"-7/8" thread insertion, so add that to the thickness of whatever it's being bolted to(likely 1/4"), plus the thickness of the flat/lock washers and you have your shaft length.

So, for the front, you will need:

3/8-16 x 1.25" - 6ea
3/8 flat washers - 6ea
3/8 lock washers - 6ea

Rear will consist of:

3/8-16 x 4" - 2ea
3/8-16 x 1.75 - 4ea (no notch) OR
3/8-16 x 2" - 4ea (with notch)
3/8 flat washers - 4ea
3/8 lock washers - 6ea
.25" thick machined washers - 2ea

FWIW- all of this (except the machined washers) can be had at Lowe's 7 days a week.
