68 fender bolts
« on: April 22, 2014, 02:02:49 PM »
Can anyone confirm an exact head bolt for a May built 68 dearborn car.  The car was apart and I know there were different style heads.  In the AMK kit that came with the car was a boat anker style.  Thanks for any input.

Sorry don't have sany good close ups of the fender bolts from a May car.

Best I can offer is the following


From 8F170960






From  8F205312- two different styles were on this car. Only one of the "T" style was used the rest with the "F"

It looks like one is what I call the flying F?  Thanks Jeff!

Armond,
It was nice meeting you at the 50th. My April car had the .... over T for the fenders, the trunk hinges had the "23" bolts.  I have a picture of an unrestored Cougar 427 GTE with the wavy rectangle bolts for the fenders.
