There’s a post on another forum where someone measured the bolts, so I’ll try the local bolt specialist for some. Are they torqued the same as the originals, minus the extra turn? I’ve seen a few posts saying do one at a time, which is how I was thinking of doing it anyway.

Did your original mounts have the upper piece or not?
I won’t be looking at nolathane, was thinking one of the softer poly brands would be better, but originals are half the cost, so I’ll look at a pair of those.
Do they slip in, or do the need some grease to help, and stop and noises?

Found the thread with the specs for anyone that might be looking. The bolts are M14 x 1.5. Length looks to be about 5.3 inches.

Here's a link with more info and detail, it's an interesting read.

Thread revival, because why not, and I forgot I'd posted it. Thought I should update for anyone that comes across this thread in a search.

The pulsing brake issue was fixed by replacing the rear brake rotors and pads. I did that about a year ago and it's been fine since.
