Re: lower control arm bracket change?

when I rebuilt the front end on my 67 all four brackets were loose and the locating pins on the front brackets were sheared off. I replaced the rivets with grade 8 3/8" bolts since the 9/16 head fit the shaft perfectly. I did have to put a 1/8" spacer under the front bolt for more engagement & I faced about .030 off the head of the rear bolt.

when I put in my new spindles I'm going to pull the control arms and drill the shafst for both pins like chevyrestroguy did
