Default what thread/size is the trackbar bolt please?

My trackbar bolt (and the special tag nut) has stripped thread

I will be off to the fastener shop, and they should be able to gauge it, but the thread is very flat

so many Imperial fasteners? (1/2") on the front end, I dont even know for sure, presumably its metric ?

While I am at it, the little clamp that locks the front spring down threads into the spring pan directly...the female thread is stipped

the bolt head is 1/2"...I am thinking to try and thread the next size up metric in there, failing that tap the spring pan..its a kind of blind hole, so you cant get a nut under there

after I got a bolt from the fastener shop, my flag nut was ok, job done

I found this thread randomly, after a "search" was fruitless

to help disseminate info for the future

4- Front sway bar at frame- M10x1.5x30mm
8- Shocks at bar pins- M8x1.25x35mm (with nuts, 4x lock washers if your rear bolts break and you have to go fishing)

1- Track bar bolt- M10x1.5x70mm (try to reuse factory nut)

2- Front sway bar end link stud at axle- M12x1.75 nuts
2- lower shock stud at rear axle- M12x1.75 nuts
