Anybody know what size bolts are the center pins in 86-95 Toy leaf springs? Or more importantly, what size in the hole in the spring perch that the pin head sits in?

I'm adding an extra leaf and will have to replace the pin, IIRC last time I used a socket cap screw that was a great replacement, but can't remember what it was :confused: and it'd be nice to have on hand before taking it all part lol.
 
Not sure if they're the same as factory, but some Procomp springs I have are 5/16" w 9/16" round locating pin. I do believe the hole in the pad is larger than 9/16" also. Either 1/4" or 5/16" threads or equivilant metric ofcourse should work.
 
They're metric between 5/16" & 3/8"...

I used some fine thread Grade8 3/8" bolts, chucked them into a drill and turned the heads down against an angle grinder until they fit the perch holes snug... just had to drill the hole in each leaf a hair to open it far enough.
 
I'm sure the OEs are an M10 bolt... just don't know what size the hole is in the spring perch?
Looks like a 3/8' will fit the hole in the spring, the head of a 3/8" socket cap screw is 9/16.
