I need help finding a correct bolt.

Anyone willing to sell or can tell me where to buy a 3/8-24 x 1" bolt with one of the head styles shown in the attached picture?

Thanks in advance.

Where is it from and why is it important to you?

 

[suprgnat]

It's from a Phase 1 BJ8 front suspension. One of the bolts has American markings and I want it to be "correct" and matching the others.

Have you checked with British Car Specialists in Stockton CA. They have many special items.

Not yet. I'll check with them when I go to have my new king pin bushings reamed.

Paul,

I have one for you. Different manufacturer, but same head style with the "R" mark on it. Shoot me a pm with your address and I'll drop it in the mail.

Paul,

My sincere apologies. I thought i had a bolt in the size you wanted, but it turns out I don't. Hope someone else can help you out.

NP!

It's just one of the bolts securing the front shocks, so I can really replace it at any time.

I just had the shocks rebuilt on my BT7 and was surprised to find that four of the front shock mounting bolts had one pattern and the other four had a different pattern. Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to the patterns when I removed the shocks so I can't say if one style was on the left side and the other on the right. I do know that these are original to the car, because I've had it since it was 3 years old and the shocks have never been off before. I assume Austin must have sourced the fasteners from different manufactures. I can imagine the fellow who installed the left shock had one brand of bolts in his box and the guy on the right had a different brand.
