Hey all, does anyone know what size, length and hardness the bolts at all 5 mounting points for the rear subframe? I need to go by bolts and washers.
Thank you!

What happened to the bolts you took out? Should be the same for either IRS or swing.

Ummm... helpers getting rid of 'stuff'? Not sure as I have a pile of bolts from the squareback body.
When I took the body off this pan, the shock area bolts were not there.

I believe they are all 10.9 bolts though (maybe that'll help).
The tech section also calls them out. You want the body section, illustration 42 for the above the shock mount parts 71-74 (#73 bolt, m10x65 up to 67, 70mm for 68 on; sleeve is 37.5 to 68, 40mm 68 on, plus #66m-10x25 forward mounts to the floor pan (body side) the the frame section, illustration #34 part #s 54-57 which are sleeve, rubber, flat washer, lock washer and m10x45 bolt. You'll also want the 50-51 combo for the very front subframe bolt (m10x20mm) and lock washer. That's your 5 bolts.
I hope that helps.

I used the parts book here in the site (technical section). I know, sometimes I forget it's here too.
