I've completely rebuilt the suspension on my 65 Formula S. When I was attaching the front spindles I can't locate 2 of the bolts that go on each side. There are 2 holes and I can only locate 1 for each side. The ones I'm missing appear to be threaded.
Where could I find these.
I'm sure when I'm able to finish and can move the car out of the garage I'll find these.
Thanks. Hope this makes sense. I'm not certain what you call the part but it fastened the front spindles to the suspension. 10 inch stock drum brakes
 
Sorry to sound like I don't know what I'm talking about but I guess I don't.
After attaching the lower control and the ball joint I need to attach this the the brake assembly.
Hope that helps
 
Pics would help.

I've found Ace hardware has large (5/8" IIRC) fine thread bolts like are found on the LCA to spindle attachment.
 
so the drum backing plates? similar to

See if this helps. The bolts go thru this and secures the front spindle

so it IS the lower ball joint bolts (LBJ) aka steering knuckle spindle bolts - but better called LBJ I guess
 
What size brakes do you have? 9" or 10" drums?

This thread is kinda like a wanted thread but kinda not. :BangHead::BangHead::BangHead:
 
I missed that, Sorry. You should be able to source those bolts new.
I'm sure I can just need the size. Can't find them in classic industries or the local parts stores. I think I'm good now. You guys are amazing at helping out
