The pin bearing surface is 1/2" diameter x 1 3/4" length and the pin is 2 7/8" overall length
The threads can be either 3/8" BSF or 3/8" UNF.
If you are purchasing new pins - the pins with UNF threads have a much better finish

Whilst overhauling the suspension on my 1966 2 door saloon I would like to replace the shackle pins (and eyebolt pins) using UNF items as recommended. I'm having some trouble finding a supplier for these pins although there is plenty of choice for the BSF types, and at least one supplier for UNF trunnion pins. Suggestions welcome.
Peter.

Pt No: SUS105.

Whilst it is listed as a eye bolt pin they are one and the same as the rear spring shackle pin.
Ask and confirm the thread before placing the order.
