Ben and List-


>From memory, I believe that Volkswagen has a similar eye bolt with the same 
thread pattern. I lost the ones for my TR6 when restoring it and found the 
same thing in a VW Beetle breakers yard.

Of course, I found them after the restoration was finished and they were no 
longer needed.

Hope this helps.
