[T3] Upper rear shock bolt

[Jim Adney]

>From the parts book:

311 513 471		Bolt, hex head, M12 x 1.5 x 50

It looks like this same bolt was used for the upper rear shock mounts for all 
cars, including IRS, except for a few very early cars. The bolt in your photo 
certainly has a very short thread; I'm guessing that's a lower bolt.

I may be able to come up with something correct. Do you need 2?
