Bob,
Your reply got to bothering me about using a 2" bolt, so I went to our
company tool crib and got a 1/2-13 x 2" bolt and measured. It is 2 1/4" long.
The head is 1/4" thick so one would have to use a 1/2-13 x 1 3/4" long bolt for
the spacer to measure 2" long for the shock arm. Of course other 2" size bolts
may be shorter or longer.

David,
According to the Bentley reprint of the shop manual, "the length of the
distance piece must be 2 in."
I use a 2-inch bolt.
