In attachment picture of 4 bolts + nuts for the fixation of the shock tower braces to the cowl.
I hope that I am explaining it correctly?
In the Osborne assembly manual I couldn't find a description for that hardware and couldn't find an answer here in the search function?
Any help would be appreciated for confirming the correct finish for the bolt and the nut.
Thanks in advance for your time and effort.
Kind regards,
Jeroen

The bolts are zinc dichromate and the nuts are Phosphate and oil. AMK sell them for less than you can have them plated.

What head markings/supplier is on the AMK supplied ones?

BTW Fastback2013 changed the title to reflect what I believe was your focus as far as year and plant ;)

Did you look in the forum's library? Look under "Mustang Hardware Spreadsheet 67-68". You will find the answers to the immediate question plus more.

I promise to be politically correct in all my posts to keep the BBBB from vociferating.

+1...Jim’s spreadsheet is awesome! I would highly recommend downloading it if you are going to be addressing multiple fasteners. It is much easier than hunting through the Osborn manuals, although I do frequently cross check them.
