need u bolt ID
need 12 u bolts and was told I should get on this forum to help ID it.
The rod size is 7/16x 20 thread, 4" across from center of rod to center of rod, 5" long from threaded end to start of radius (but can go longer)
My biggest problem is the radius because its flattened.
So can anybody help me ID them so I can go to a parts store and order them?
A friend told me that they look like a Nova u bolt, and to custom order them at a spring shop its $25.00 ea.

u bolt
that is just the style of hammer forged u-bolt that some oem mfg's used .you don't need to have that style ,if they want to charge you $25.00 your getting ripped off .i used to make and sell them at a spring shop just a full round bend u-bolt usally no more than $6.00 or $7.00 each .measure down at the bottom were the rod starts to turn the radius should give you the bend .then from the bottom of the bend inside to the end of the threads for the length . this link will show you how to measure them ,and they can make them for you .
