Anybody know a source for a set of original bolts, nuts and washers in the correct sizes?

I'm using grade 8 X 1/2" bolts but I'm having some probs with the fit.

3.5 x 1/2 grade 8 should be right. Not positive on the length, I can check, I just replaced the SSM liftbars with stock control arms, still have the old hardware. Only difference with original is they're grade 5 and the shoulder is slightly smaller than 1/2", probably so they don't seize up with rust inside the bushing sleeve. The threads and shoulder next to the head are 1/2". Use anti-seize grease with regular bolts.

If you want original style there is a guy on Ebay, location is Romeo, MI, I think that has them now and then.
