We had to make many of the bolts in our machine shop for my '47 convertible using a diagram from an old parts book for 1944-1952 body parts. If you want or need the the info, leave me a private message on this site. It takes lots of time and skill to create the nine special bolts, if you can find someone that can do it. You can also try Hydro-E-Lectric at 800/343-4261. They are a good place and have lots of parts.

Totally Stainless is where I got mine as well. I only needed one, but still pretty pricey. There is also at least a couple weeks lead time, because they machine them after they receive an order.
