Re: Body bolts
That is what I was thinking, and I will go with that. The small one just seems rather small for there, but seems the only place that works deductively. The Judging Standards don't specify the bolt...

Body bolts
I have a body bolt kit from Snyder's, but I am a little confused about what is what. I didn't document the originals, unfortunately, so I can't go by that. So, I know the carriage bolts go in the...

Re: Brake Rod Length
The rods are new so they wouldn't be cut down. I think I have one or two pills in there, so I will try removing those. Wish I had rods ready when it was easy to do that. I have to take everything off...

Brake Rod Length
I am having trouble with my front brake rods. I am figuring the cross shaft arms are set vertically at rest. And with the rod eyes set to 51.5" it won't reach. And to make it reach I don't really...

Rear Fender "Nuts"
I am trying to find replacements for some threaded pieces from my rear apron for attaching the fenders. I think they are called d-nuts, is that correct?

60-C Body Wood Drawings
Does anybody have drawings or photos of the body wood in a 60-C? I would like something model-specific to refer to when inspecting my car, in case there are differences, which I assume there are. I...

Nuts
These are the front hub nuts which were on my car, but they don't seem to fit. Are they the wrong nuts or am I missing something to take the space?

Re: What is this?
The spindles I got to replace my worn ones look have that ring like yours does, Tom. I assume then I don't need to replace the seals I had?

I cannot find this part in the shop manual. It was on the spindle when I was disassembling the car. I think it was between the inner bearing and the base. I seem to have only found one so I don't...

I would like some information on the parts I would need to look for to build some '29 headlights. I figure I might be more likely to find original parts than whole original light assemblies.
So, I...

I removed my front motor mount and found some bright areas through the paint. My first thought was I scratched through the metal but it was smooth. So I brushed off the paint and found this.

Radiator Mounting Holes
The front cross member of a frame has slotted holes to mount the radiator. Is this normal for a certain year or such? If it matters, the slot runs parallel to the cross member.
