2005 Plus 4 top bolt for the rear shock absorber.

Does anyone know if these are a unique Morgan part or were used on other vehicles? One of mine has stripped and when I recut a new thread that also stripped.

Thanks.

Shouldn't be anything special, you could take out the other side and match it up at a fixings supplier or just measure the diameter and order online, personally whilst replacing I would go for a HT grade, new washers and Nylock nut

Absolutely not they are a readily available hex head high tensile plated 7/16" UNF x 4" long bolt. Please don't mess about re-cutting threads just fit a new one and as Jon suggests a new nylock nut. eBay has the bolts here.
