Front A-Arm revival

I bought a new set of front struts, wheel bearings, a-arm bearings and torsion bars. Tonight I tried to take off the a-arms and plan to send them for sand-blasting and powder coating once they're off. I removed the 2 front most bolts on each arm that connect the front bearing to the front pan, also removed the 2 rear bolts (1 very long in front, 1 shorter in rear) on each side that connect the a-arm to the (a-arm stabilizer?), also removed the rearmost bolts on each side that I'm assuming stabilize the a-arm stabilizer. Last I removed the bolt connecting the lower strut to the ball joint (I stripped the drivers side one). I did not remove the 2 middle most bolts connecting the a-arm stabilizer to the chasis, just under the steering rack. I appologize that I'm not sure of all the names yet. All that in mind, all of the bolts were rather rusted out, and I'm lucky to only have stripped the one bolt. Does anyone know what the part numbers are of the bolts? Or should I just take them to Lowes, Home Depot, etc. and see if they have the right sizes?

I bought the Rebel Racing front bushing set and just noticed they come with a set of 4 bolts. It looks like they go with the front bushing.

I've installed Rebels bushings front and rear on a 69 Targa. They are very well made.
Make sure you use the two part washers so the mounting plate that holds the bushings can properly alien.
I sent Clint my front suspension off my 67 912 so he can produce a SWB version.
He's in New Zealand for the month of June. For those who would like a set of his new SWB bushings they should be available in July.
