Do the engine splash pan bolts to frame have lock washers, square nuts and cotter pins in December 28. When did Ford eliminate the cotter pins?

My early 1929 has them. I hope this helps.

You should have 1/4"-28 hex head bolts with cotter holes, square nuts, and cotter pins, all unfinished with no lock washers.

From page 1-7 revised 2011 of the Restoration Guidelines and Judging Standards

“The pans are attached to the frame with 1/4 - 28 hex head bolts. The bolts were unfinished until mid-1930, black enamel until mid-1931 and raven finished thereafter. Unfinished cotter pins were used until mid-1929 and then changed to unfinished lock washers. The square nuts were unfinished throughout production."
