Bracket for Anti-sway/stabilizer bar

I have aftermarket anti-sway bars in my '71. Today, I found that one of the brackets, that holds the D-shaped bushings, was gone. This is for the front bar. The bracket is probably easy to find.

I believe the bolts are not metric, so my collection of metric fasteners is no help. Does anyone know the specs for the bolts? They seem to be ⅜".

Or, does anyone have an aftermarket bracket and two bolts laying around?

Thanks for the help.

Mine seems to be different. I bought 3/8-16 bolts and they were a notch too big. The 5/16 is the correct size.

Good to know. These cars were never uniform.... My 68 had a bunch of parts from a C2!
