You might just try it and make sure that the bolt will not bottom out.
You can check this by using the 3/4" length bolt without either washer and see
if it will be ok (goes in all the way). If not, you can likely add another
Grade 8 washer and hopefully that will work. Just make sure that your bolt
does not bottom out or you will have problems. I'm not exactly sure where your
talking about, but should not be a problem. The other thing is that you can
shorten the bolt with a grinder/belt sander, etc. The trick will be to put a
nut on the bolt and grind it down a bit and chamfer the edge. Then take the
bolt off and that will give you an easy starting thread.
Or you can get one
from here

I
think that is the correct threads... I may also have some in the stack of
bolts I have, if your in the So Cal Area come by and I'll give you one or make
one for you.

Fellow
enthusiasts,
In gettting ready to install the 260 and Toploader I note that
according to
the Rootes part book there is a difference in the bolts used to
secure the
transmission cross tube mount in a Mark 1 vs. a Mark 2.
The Mark 1
used a 3/8" x 5/8" UNF bolt with flat and spring washers. Mark 2's
featured a
3/4" bolt. I am wondering if a 3/4" bolt will work in the Mark 1
application
and might indeed be an improvement? It would be handy as I am
unable to source
a 5/8" Gr. 8 bolt.
Was this a simple bolt size change made to accomodate the
289's extra torque
and/or were the bolt holes made a bit deeper for the Mark
2?
Thanks,
Tim
