Up thru '67, both appear to be 65 mm long. '68-on, the rear one was 70 mm, 
which might make it easier to install. Don't forget the rubber bushings and all 
the other little spacer and support washers that go in some of those places.  

Also, that front bolt goes into a nut welded inside a body cavity. Best to 
chase out the threads BEFORE you try to lay the body on the beam and 
frame.
