Default Early V8 Fasteners

There are fastener sources for restoring Early V8 cars, but if your car is a driver, and you are fussy about the appearance of the fasteners, there other options. Most fastener suppliers bolts & nuts have modern coatings on them that look out of place on early Fords. Fastenal has grade 5 hex head bolts & nuts that you can order on line with what they call a “Plain” finish, which is black oxide. They have them in all the SAE sizes & lengths, and you can buy as many or a little as you want. The three strikes for G5 are not that proud of the head so they are hardly noticeable. Most of them are made in china, but in some cases there is an option to select USA. In my opinion, ( I was in the fastener business years ago), the USA bolts are better quality, you can see it in the threads and thread leads for example. Shipping is about $10.00 UPS ground, and arrives in a couple days from the Midwest.
