Body bolts
I have a body bolt kit from Snyder's, but I am a little confused about what is what. I didn't document the originals, unfortunately, so I can't go by that. So, I know the carriage bolts go in the square holes in the front end, but the rest confuse me. Especially the short, narrower bolts. I assume the four mid-size bolts go in the cross members' holes. Can anyone tell me where these all go? Thank you. Oh, it is a '29 Fordor, body style 60-C, if that changes anything.

Re: Body bolts
Judging standards lists the bolts for each body.

Re: Body bolts
The 2 smallest bolts go up at the cowl.
The 2 larger bolts go at the back of the body and drop down into the rear cross member. The other 4 bolts go in between, probably 2 on each side. |

I am planning to eventually put the body of my 1929 Special Coupe back on the frame. I have a body bolt set and it makes sense until I saw the four carriage bolts seen above the eight body bolts in the package. What are these for? I wish I had paid more attention to body bolts and blocks when I took my car apart more than five years ago. |

These bolt holes are pictured from the front to rear, and numbered as such. Locate the 2 and 3 position in the cowl area on either side of the frame on a tab or support, outboard of the frame rail. |
