35 front spring details

Query about the rear spring mount on the front springs on a 35. Unfortunately I don't have any dead parts to look at to see what happens here. The spring mount is threaded on both sides, so presumably there is a long threaded pin that goes from one side to the other. I'm guessing that I also need a typical Hudson style threaded bush like the ones in the photo but without the hex head.
Is that about right? Does anyone have spares they can sell me? Please PM me here or email r-j-wardATbigpond.com

    Bob, Can you give me the dia of the bolt you are after, I should have one. If I remember there is a bush in the eye of the spring, some one correct me if I'm wrong, long time since I did my 34/5 Hudsons I should have the bush as well if so.

    Les, those pins are 11/16" UNC, 11tpi I think. If you have 2 sets that will be brilliant.

    Bob, have two pins for you, have not had a responce if the rear of the rear spring requires bushes, I think it does which fits inside the spring eye. and then the bolt goes through the bush, as I said earlier, long time since I did my '35 Hudson up.

    Thanks Les, if you have the 2 pins that will be a great start. The spring eye will definitely need a bush, I'm assuming that the bush will need to be threaded on the inside to suit the pin and will have a shallow groove thread on the outside. PO Box 69, Laidley 4341

    Another item, were the front mounts for the rear springs sold as a spare part, and if so do you have them? I've unriveted one from the chassis and am looking at building up the pin and re-threading it, but a couple of new ones would make life easier.
