Any spring shop should have plenty of the bolts and bushings too in stock. If no bushings I've had good luck with the polyurethane spring bushings.

O Reileys usually has what I need. Even the odd ball metrics. I'd say min 3/8" bolt on the hangers. In fact, I did get a large metric bushing bolt from them not to long ago.

Fastenal or a dedicated commercial bolt supply. Lowes has good bolt selection.

what size and length u think?

if it's for the spring eyelet then it doesn't have to be metric. IMO change over the metric size thru google or something and it should tell you what you need for standard.

according to google 14 is right between 1/2 and 9/16 of course, just like sockets.

and the 115 is a lil over 4-1/2 inches long. it's like 4.52 or something.

Frame bolts are generally 3/8ths to 1/2" x 1" or 1.5" Having punched yer Rivets u should have holes in the frame u can measure to get the diameter. Length wise a 1 to 1.5" should work.
