8N Front Mount Dist bolt size/length

[BigYoung]

My new to me and heavily worked over N had a distributor with a broken mounting ear that was held on with bolts with several washers for more purchase area of the dist body.

John Smith fixed me up with a rebuilt Dist and its time to mount it.

I'd like to get the correct new bolts so that I don't have an issue with a long bolt rubbing internal parts.

Can anyone advise of the correct bolt size?

The book lists it at 5/16-18 X .87 with a 5/16 lock washer.

Del, thanks for the quick answer. Gonna slide by Fastenall.

Broken ear is caused by some one forcing the distributor on so be sure you have the new one right before you tighten up the bolts
