66 under-dash A/C fasteners
« on: June 18, 2011, 03:24:35 PM »
Does someone have a picure of the fasteners that attach the 2 mounting brackets onto the fiberglass A/C housing?

The brackets that bolt the unit to the underside of the dash.  Mine is riveted to the case with HUGE pop-rivets and I'm sure that's wrong.

It's a little warm in the garage right now...(It's 108 outside alone)...I can try and take a picture either late tonight or early tomorrow before the sun rises....I assume 65 and 66 would be the same...

Thans Chris,

I don't know for sure, but I'll bet 65's and 66's have a different attachment method because the brackets and the body itself are different.

I'm going on a web search for pictures.

Bryan,

I took these this morning...I hope they help...My camera isn't the greatest when it comes to close ups of the bolts...Maybe someone has better pictures...Pay no attention to the dirt/dust behind the curtain...I don't think it's ever been really cleaned behind there in the 19 years the car was owned by my dad...Plus it gets dusty our here in AZ...

The fasteners in the pic that attach the unit to the dash do not appear to be right.  Those are typically a phosphate bolt with a captured tooth washer, large tooth-style.  AMK has these in their catalog.  I don't recall if there is a difference between 65 and 66, but most likely is not.

Charles,
I have the AMK kit that bolts the unit under the dash.

What I am needing is the fasteners that attach the two brackets to the fiberglass housing.

Thanks

Can you post a pic of those bolts that attach to the dash....I just noticed the one on the driver side is different than the one in the pic on the passenger side...
