I have misplaced the two bolts that attach the rear engine mount to the frame on a Hornet with standard shift and overdrive. I know these are special sleeved bolts but I would like to improvise something with common hardware store material. I need the following information:
What size are the bolts - length and thread?
How long is the sleeve and what is the outside diameter?
Even if I have to do a little fiddling with the standard hardware, I need these dimensions as a starting point. Thanks in advance for any help.
Hudsonly,

Ed , I am pretty sure I have these two bolts and the spacer sleeves on the 54 parts car here in Plano. Would you be interested in them?
Ken,
Yes I would. Let me know how much including shipping to zip code 03820. However, in the meantime I'd like to improvise a temporary fix so I can get the car down off the jack stands. After the right bolts arrive, I'll put the right ones in. So while I wait for Uncle Sam's slow boat to China, could you send me those dimensions for my temporary fix. Thanks for the quick response.
By the way, can I send the money with Paypal. If so let me know where to send it.
Thanks,
Ed
Ken,
As soon as I made contact with you, they appeared. Right there on the dashboard where that darn little elf put them. I guess I won't be needing them after all but I really do appreciate your response. I hope you didn't put all that effort into pulling them out, but if you did it scores as your good deed for this week. Once again, thanks for your kind attention to this. May your next car get the Albright award.
Ed
Good to hear you found the parts. You put them in a place so obvious, that one wouldn't have thought of looking there first....happens all the time, especially at age 60+. No, I was waiting to hear back from you before going out to the parts car to pull them. Glad you found yours and neither of us went to extra trouble.
