What is the Correct Splash Apron to Frame hardware?

[Kevin in NJ]

For my 31, what is the correct bolt/ screw, washer, and nut to attach the running board splash apron to the frame.

I looked in the hardware book and came away scratching my head. It appears you are supposed to use a 1/4" - 28 round head screw and a 1/4" - 20 nut.

They also do not list a washer or lock washer. I am guessing there should be a large washer between the screw head and the Apron. I would think there would be a washer and a lock washer on the frame side.

Thanks,
Kevin

it is a special wide head bolt. Bratton's number 22160 ....$2.00 for four bolts, nuts and washers

That was a perfect answer, Pat. Written, with a photo, with a source. Just perfect.

The apron to frame bolt was the same as the rear lamp bracket to fender bolt. The large head (in both cases) was changed to a smaller head in late 1930. the bolt was raven finished with the head dipped in black enamel. The nut used was a raven finished hex nut on the apron to frame.

Thanks guys!

It turns out the proper bolts were in the package of hardware I got from Roy Nacawitz.

Now I just need to get the aprons in a nice shiny black.

Was the lock washer unfinished?
