Rear Spring Shackle bolts

1st I have to congratulate Fairview on his BJ7 restoration. It looks beautiful.
Now into my 3rd year of my 2 yr BJ7 restoration I am starting to assemble the rear axle and suspension. I have built everything new as I go and have the new 3:54/1 rear gears in and the housing powdercoated. But I never looked closely at the bolt that goes through the rear chasis mounted spring boss and bushings. The one that has the chamfered end and the shouldered end. The two that I have are severly worn and ringed where the bushings were riding. I have looked at many of the various suppliers. They all list this bolt as N/A. Does anyone know where this bolt can be procured?
Thanks,
Dave C.
 
Dave,
Moss shows the shackle pin NA for the BN1 but lists part number 031-295 for all other models. Price is about $15 and it is shown on page 74 in their catalog. Have a good day!

I think the only reason it is NA for the BN1 is because this bolt is BSF on the BN1. Otherwise they are the same.

BN1 owners note, if you a member of the Austin Counties Car Club in the UK, you can get this bolt BSF.

John and Allen, Thank-you very much. I totally missed that.
