This could be a tough one . . . .

I'm looking for any company out there who sells the rear axle retaining bolts, the T type bolts that go on the end of the nine inch Ford rear end. The four on each side that hold on the brake bracking plate.

What I am looking for is a STAINLESS set so I can polish them.

Any one know of any leads ?
Thanks

I would say you'll have to make them. Get 1/2" bolts, cut off the heads and weld short lengths of SS 1/4" rod across them.

If you going to polish them, aren't you concerned about chipping the pain around them? those T bolts hit the axle tubes when you tighten them, that is the point of the "T" in T bolt. The wings swing over and hit something to keep them from turning.

We generally just use SS hex bolts and hold them with a wrench when tightening the backing plates.

No Paint, Chrome !, Even the brake backing plates
Okay thanks for the info though.

Check this site out; they have lots of stuff for 9" Ford rears, including newT-bolts for a buck apiece. http://www.peytonperformance.com/sto...=HOME:RearEnds

I can't find any SS ones, but you might look at chrome or silver powder coat on a new set of raw steel ones....
