Help,
I am replacing my rear shocks in 1980 Camaro base model. When I removed my old shocks, I broke off 2 upper bolts, 1 on each side. I will probably have to drill out the broken bolts and am guessing I will end up destroying the J-Nuts (Clip Nuts). I have spent hours trying to locate 4 new bolts and J-Nuts that I can use when I install the new shocks. I cannot seem to locate a source. I find the bolts and J-Nuts for front leaf springs and for lower front shocks, but not the rear upper shocks. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Kevin

Napa sells generic J clips in 5/16" which should be what your upper shock mount uses. They have a long enough clip to fit over almost any situation.
