Default 1967 Jaguar 420 rear radius arm do'nut bush bolt size & thread?

Greetings People, Can any one tell me off the top of their head what the bolt size is that I need to bolt the rear IRS unit radius arm doughnut bush back underneath the floor with?
I removed the IRS about 4 years ago and am now wanting to move the vehicle so I need to refit the IRS unit and cannot find the bolts or safety straps.
I can do without the safety straps for now just to move the car on a trailer... but am a tad stuck.

I Think it may be 1/2" UNF if I can find some in this bloody metricated world, but do not want to order 2 bolts special without being sure of the correct size.


Appreciate any help. Thanks.

It will be UNF, but what the size is I don't know. Do you have the parts manual, as that will tell you ?

Thanks Fraser, I sat down and had a real think about it.
I do have a bit of a parts manual and it has 3 pages of rear suspension left.
It mentioned 2 bolts of 1/2" and 2 bolts of 7/16" sizes. I eventually found some old bolts in both sizes and after a good clean up found the 7/16" UNF was trying to fit.
I ran a 7/16" tap up inside the thread and all is good now.
Thanks for your help.
DP.
