TO-35 fender bolts

need some new bolts.
is the 61/8" bolt, as listed in parts manual, long enough to attach stabilizer bar brackets?
thanks.

on my TO 35 the angle brackets for my under fender stabilizers are the same thickness as the fender brackets.

so you could double that thickness, then add the axle housing thickness, you must also have enough length for the lock washer and the nut, nut must be fully engaged in the bolt threads.
add up those measurements and you should be good to go. Those original bolts had fine threads.
I think those bolts were grade 8.

Steve, the TO-20/30 Parts Book also calls for 6 1/8" bolts.

I used 6 1/2" bolts, as that was as close as I could find. With the stabilizer brackets installed, the bolts are still a little over a half-inch too long. (Sorry, no picture - the camera battery was dead!)

You should be fine with 6 1/8" bolts, with the brackets.

Edit: I read that Harry Ferguson was a stickler for not having bolts that were too long - hope he doesn't mind!
