Correct Bolt Kit
I am looking for the correct bolt kit for all fenders for a late 30 or 31. I believe these don't have markings on the heads and the right finish. Which vender is the best source. Or do I have to buy them locally and grind the ends. Any help would be great. Thanks Don

Re: Correct Bolt Kit
That's the easiest and the cheapest.
www.mantiquesresto.com is a choice www.fordscript.com Roy Nacewicz is another choice. www.modelastore.com Bert's in Denver is a third

Re: Correct Bolt Kit
Will Cronkrite (www.mantiquesresto.com) is probably your best bet for buying restored original fasteners. The best repro kits probably come from Roy Nacewicz (www.fordbolts.com)

[QUOTE=Mike V. Florida;200454]That's the easiest and the cheapest.
^ One thing Mike left out was " fastest " ^ If you choose to grind the heads of hardware store bolts, you should probably know it'll look -Nothing At All- like an original bolt head ... which features a unique texture and draw marks from the stamping process. The original fender hardware was cadmium plated, but if that's not the level of restoration you're aiming for then grinding & spray paint will certainly please the average spectator. |

Re: Correct Bolt Kit
Don you're absolutely right.
My 31 came with mostly cad plated hardware around the fenders, but studying the Standard Hardware Guide this morning it appears this was mostly a 28-29 feature. I'm not sure why I assumed they were correct, but glad to have it pointed out now as opposed to later... Sorry about the missinformation. |
