Type of fastener for for Radiator Pan
What type of fastener is used for the Radiator Splash Shield where it bolts to the front of the fender on a '30 Town Sedan?
Mine has hex head bolts and it doesn't look correct. I'm thinking it should be an oval head or carriage bolt with a smooth head. Last edited by Y-Blockhead; 03-22-2017 at 08:27 PM. |

Re: Type of fastener for for Radiator Pan
If you don't have a point car and want that area to look nice, use round head, slotted stainless steel . Polished. I don't think washers were used.
StainlessTown has an aweasome inventory and their prices are very low.

Do they have slotted? I looked and couldn't find them on their website.

Another option is Ace Hardware. Used to work at one. They have slide out trays that contain a lot of stainless screws. Ask for the location of the slotted ones.

Re: Type of fastener for for Radiator Pan
Snyders have them, A-115-BMB, it wouldn't be worth ordering them unless you need other parts.

Re: Type of fastener for for Radiator Pan
I also buy from McMaster-Carr and everything you say is true. The bits they sell for Dremels are outstanding.
The problem i have with buying screws from them is you have to buy 50-100 at a time when I only need 2-4... |

Re: Type of fastener for for Radiator Pan
check with tractor supply, they have a good selection of nuts and bolts and they are cheap
and are sold by the pound. They also have grade 8 and pretty sure I saw some stainless. I was looking for some nuts and bolts (Grade didn't matter) and got a big hand full for less than 6 or 8 of the same quality at ACE. |

Re: Type of fastener for for Radiator Pan
Most of the Model A Parts suppliers carry specific packages of screws , washers , nuts Ect. that are very close in length , type of head and nuts that are close to the originals. These are for many applications . Snyders , Brattons , A&L , Berts , and most others carry them. Saves a lot of time and aggravation.

Re: Type of fastener for for Radiator Pan
Brian, I saw those. I think those are the ones that go on the sides of the Radiator Splash Shield and screw into the bumper bracket bolts.
OK Not sure where you are with these elusive bolts, take a look at Brattons, 21260 and 21270, I believe they go thru the front fender, splash apron, and frame with a nuts and washers.
