1932 front body bolt

[Vonn]

Is the front body bolt on the 32 ford at the cowl a special bolt? I know the purpose is to adjust the cowl for door adjustments but is it just a standard bolt?

23533-S2 was a standard bolt measuring 7/16-20 x 2 1/4" with a thick head consistent with bolts of that size at that time. I have seen a pair of bolts with a forged head that differs from the standard hex shape that allegedly came from a '32s cowl and they were the same length and diameter, but I know of no other examples from any other '32, early or otherwise.

Thanks for that information DavidG. I had searched for a picture that would show that bolt but wasn't able to find one. Found some discussions on how it was to be used but no pictures of the actual bolt in place.
