Thank you, Thomas.
It seems, from the parts book, that nearly every nut and bolt on my 408 suspension is BSF. I can get those here in the US from a few suppliers but I would have thought several of the fasteners could be safely replaced with UNF Fine Thread equivalents.
E.g. the bolts holding the upper ball joint between the upper wishbones are listed as 1/2" BSF. So I may investigate using 1/2-20 Grade 8 to replace those. Provided the unthreaded portion of the UNF bolt is the same diameter as the BSF one, it should work. I'd be interested in peoples' opinions on that.
