steering gear box bolts

Post by F100 Dad »

I'm having trouble locating a replacement mounting bolt for my power steering gear box (PN 379905-S). These are the 3 bolts that pass through the frame and thread in to the gear box body.

Can use just any grade five or eight 7/16-14 bolt, washer and split washer?

Yep. That's what I did. Got grade 8's at my local Ace Hardware.

Thanks. I tried my local Lowe's and they had a nice assortment of grade 8 hardware at a reasonable price.
