Title: Brake caliper mount bolt paint daubs
Post by: boss167961 on June 01, 2024, 01:29:28 AM
Guys, can someone please confirm that assembly line practice was that the heads of these 4 bolts (1 long, 1 short each side) had a small spray daub of yellow on them.
Many thanks
Martin

Just reposting what I posted on the Boss 302 forum where you also posted

Assume your asking about 1970 though not sure what plant. Does or can make allot of difference since they would have been applied at the car plant I believe.

Don't recall ever seeing that paint marking on an original car in 40 or so years of collecting these things and on cars where other paint marks still remained visible on the suspension/spindle.  Of course I could likely find a "restored" car with those markings. Likely a car with allot of hand applied X's on the car also.
