    Hey guys, I'm making some shock parts for a 77 WR 360. Are the shock bolts 8mm or 10mm? I know they were changing around stuff at that time and I don't have a 77 for reference.

    Thanks in advance.

    I assume you mean the rear shock mounting bolts. I have a 77 360 Automatic and mine are 10mm.

    77 motocross and XC parts list says 8mm, the 77 Auto parts list says 10mm.

    All Huskys from at least 68 thru 74 plus the 75 MK 400 had 3/8" (9.5mm) shock bolts. Apparently the early ML Huskys replaced the 3/8" with 10mm and a few years later decided that 8mm was sufficient plus it would have reduced weight and possibly saved a few krona.
