Yes that is the one but now seeing your problem Steve is probably right in thinking new joints to fit the bolt you are using.

I used a 240mm long cap screw for the lower bolt( high tensile steel)

It is better to use something not completely threaded,the difference between screw and bolt.

Sleeve the imperial rod ends as most metric rod ends are not rated the same.

reducers turned up, and there rubbish. ordered some 240mm tensile steel bolts there to long. im really getting annoyed now nothing is going right
because the bolts are to long for the bottom of the up right can i just use the bush tubes as spacers??
also ordered 2x240mm tensile steel bolts for rear diff/bracketts same case here bolts are about 20mm to long. can i space these with bush tubes also??(is that ok for iva man)

when i say to long i mean all the thread is through the other side and some of the smooth shaft of the bolt, so obviously if i got to tighten the bolt up it wont because there isn't enough thread. if that makes any sense.

The original diff mounting bolts were M12 X 210mm & they are plenty long enough for the job

Some better pictures of your rear suspension set up would be helpfull so as folk can give you some more detailed advice
