Heh, forgot to mention it's a Beetle.
Thanks, sparks
Should be 17mm. After ~40yrs, you may find the nut rusted on or the shock bushing rusted to the stud.

Could be many different sized, depending on what th elast person used the last time he replaced the bolt. It is unlikely that you will find original bolts there.
Expect to find 17mm and/or 19mm heads.

Thanks for the replies. Well, I did have the original bolts all bagged and labeled. Soon to be ex-wife decided to ummm, organize some of my stuff permanently. Just trying to figure out what I'm missing.
