    I don't see Currie or Strange selling 7/16" t-bolts for the Ford 9 inch rear. I see 3/8 and 1/2. Seems like 3/8" must be the stock size. The 1/2" would require redrilling the axle housing and backing plate.

    FWIW, a Wilwood brake caliper only uses two 3/8" bolts to hold it in place.

    If you do a little research, you'll find that the shear strength of a single 3/8" bolt can be almost 10,000 lbs. Even a low grade bolt can handle nearly 5,000 lbs.

    It's been a while since I did anything on my 34. Just haven't felt up to since Mom passed. Well this past weekend I kicked myself in the ass and got at it again and it felt good to get something done. It's a small step but it is a step. With the help of my better half I installed the dash bracing and column drop. I still have to purdy it up a bit but it is solid as a rock and well on it's way. Next up installing the electrical panel and heater mounts. The column should just bolt in...(should) The wife is a big help on a lot of things like holding one side of the dash up while I fiddle with the other side and handing me tools while I'm under the car and a host of other things. I'd be lost without her sometimes.
