What do we see here?
Bryanj:
OK, those bolts are an odd thread so you may have to order one for the undamaged one. They dont have nuts as there is limited space on the inside but if all clears no problem.
I have had swing arms powder coated with those bushes left in and they survived, others havent BUT they are a swine to change as they are a tight fit in the hole, wear, if any, is obvious play
Oddjob:
The rubber bushes that the shocks locate onto can perish, check the rubber for signs of cracking etc. If spotted, change. TBH after so many years I'd advise changing them anyway, the rubber can go hard over time.

Do you mean that it is not full thread. Don't know the exactly "how" important.
A bit of info here.

K2-K6:
Thought the bottom fix bolts are shouldered to prevent the shock "legs" from pinching together?
Usually something like this tightens on the fixed end of the thread to prevent it backing out, but leaves the legs and pivot effectively floating so that it doesn't bind in the bush core.
It's a double shear joint to distribute load evenly across the design.

Never realised they have a special thread.
