Topic: Heater assembly-to-cowl vent attaching hardware

[mtinkham]

I am looking for a picture, if available, of the fastener that attaches the heater assembly to the cowl vent on a 1967 non-ac application (see attached picture - bracket circled). It is for my signature car.

I have searched for "heater" and pictures are limited of this area.

I have looked at Jim's excellent hardware spread sheet and I believe the following are the correct fastener, but wanted to confirm with a picture, if possible.

Thank you.

If we assume your factory used the same bolt as SJ, then this applies.
I think. It was in my interior stuff to plate and was not marked. But all the dimensions and type are correct.
There is no head mark.
I can't find the spring nut at the moment, but it's pretty standard stuff.

Don't have any NJ examples we can use for this question. Sorry

[Bossbill]

The spring nut should look similar to this.

I assume you are parts hunting in your stash but forgot what this all looks like?

Thank you BossBill...this heater assembly was removed almost 20 years ago...I've got a bag of hardware labeled bag-o-stuff - Interior. Quite embarrassing, actually.

Thank for the compliment. There are two sources listed in the spreadsheet, the source for the hardware item itself - in most cases a picture is included in that source - and the source for it's application (aka where its use is). As in any large spreadsheet (there are about 10,500 items listed in the master file, and I can't tell you how many columns wide it is), abbreviations are needed so there is an accompanying explanation. Remember, a "picture" is after the fact, many decades after in fact (pun intended). In most cases, it confirms what was done.

Shot a pic of what you find in your bag-o-stuff as we're curious.

Thank you.

You need the AMK guide to fasteners book. NPD sells it It will decipher the fastener code and show a picture. When looked up in the book the number has a page reference . When you go to the page reference there will be a picture .The picture will be of the type of fastener but not necessarily with the correct marking. Especially helpful if you have a pile of fasteners that you know came from the car and you want to figure out what is what.

You need the AMK guide to fasteners book.

Bingo!
Also: "Ford Standard and Utility Parts Catalog", available for 1965, 1966 and 1969 are excellent additional sources. Available from most Mustang parts sellers.
