I'm gonna have to crawl under my 47 to see if mine has the same bolts. I've never seen one like that!

Yes, this shows quite well in the 47-48 Body & Chassis parts list.  I've had a lot of early hardware in a past life but never one of these.  You might have to replace it modern hardware; shouldn't be difficult.

So I checked both of my 47s and they have the same nut/bolt combination. I learned something new!
