1929 Sport Coupe Top Wood Bolts
 

The top wood bows and metal supports have several special bolts and nuts, a couple of which are missing on my current project. does anyone know of a source for these ? I’ve already checked several vendors for these, but cannot find them.

thanks - Jim

Bert’s has the sleeve nut for the bolt on the right.

The tube nut for the two #2 bow braces are common. The hidden nuts for the top side wooden tack braces aren't common. My 29 had tapered nuts with screw slots for those. The nut & screw in the photos appear to be hex head with a taper so I'm not familiar with those. I had to make my own tapered nuts.

A person can use the T-nuts with the prongs that can be driven into the wood but it depends on how the wood parts are made. If they come pre made with counterbored holes then those may or may not work.
