It is possible, even likely, when ordering front and rear U-bolts for a Series IIa, that front bolts will stupidly be supplied metric fine and rear will be BSF. Do not, do not, be my somewhat-mechanically-declined-still cousin and only realize something is quite wrong after threading all front U-bolts all the way with the wrong nuts and realizing the rear ones won't start at all.

Why would you need to order these? Can't you just get them at autozone or something?

You can, and they (or rather, a close analogue) are what some of the gefuckened ones are going to be replaced with from NAPA. But - the rear bolts are British Standard Fine that matches other things on the car and an exact fit rather than an iffy one, and all 8 were included with a suspension kit for the car (shackles, springs, shocks, etc.).
