I know the head height is around half the height,but every other dimensions was correct. So I brought these ones

Hi Marco
It’s the centre bolt in the middle of the spring it locates each end of the diff housing onto the spring itself..the rounded heads of the bolt are about 15mm long and the shops I have been to don’t have them that long..they actually told me they have never seen them that long so I guess they haven’t dealt in older cars
