1987 911 front sway bar hardware

Hello today I discovered that the two rear bolts of my front sway bar brackets have backed out and are gone!
I have been searching for the spec on the bolts so I can sure up the suspension. Can you share the spec with me?

Ok. This shows the front bolt only. Maybe I’m to assume it’s the same for the rear one? The problem is it’s difficult to align the bolt and test the threads because of the bracket and the pressure needed on the arm. What I don’t want to do is strip the threads that go into the body. Can you confirm that this is the rear bolt as well? Thanks for the response!!

If you take a look at the PET Diagram, you’ll notice that Find #11, 12 and most likely 13 has two entries each in the table. That’s the indicator that two each of the parts are required for the bracket.

They are both 8mm Bolts that use a 1.25 thread pitch. You can find these at any bolt supply place.
