[Found!] OEM STYLE 7/16" U-BOLTS FOR 7.25" HOUSING

hwd2 · Jul 27, 2019

HI. I am replacing drum to drum with a similar unit and need factory style U-bolts. These would be a set of 4 with washers and deep nuts. Dimensions are curved end, 2.5" I.D., approx. 6 to 6.5" length, with 2" of fine (20) threads on each end.
Does anyone have sitting around - or a trusty link that can help? I have gone thru Ebay and many private sources with no luck. Aftermarket would have to be (at least) a Grade-5 but prefer Grade 8. Thanks for viewing.

Well, they look okay, but more than I need. Also, would cost me at least $280. door to door so better left for someone needing the extra hardware. Also a bit leery about old, stretched and perhaps deteriorated parts. Kind of budgeting $100. total (incl. shipping) so may end up getting closer to home. thanks for tip, though. All is appreciated.

I converted to 8 3/4 on a car years ago so these have on the shelf. In CT, USA but going to Moparfest in a few weeks in Canada
I would do $100 US plus shipping
Go to a local spring shop to buy new u-bolts seeing as you are so far away
