1968 Dearborn Convertible
« on: November 23, 2014, 12:28:06 AM »
Back from paint and on with the restoration.  I'm accumulating finished parts with hardware.  Before, I install them, could someone
confirm:

Cross member plate hardware - phosphate and oil?
Fuel line protector - 1/4 x 20 X 5/8 self tapping machine screw?....phosphate and oil or natural?

Since this is a Mn car, there wasn't anyway to figure out from the hardware I took off...plus, I didn't look at the un-exposed surfaces before I
took most of the hardware in for phosphate and oil


Thanks

Thanks guys.  Got distracted by working on the rear end.  I appreciate the information.
