WTB: 4 OEM unrestored shift boot to box bolts
« on: December 01, 2022, 10:34:52 PM »
I'm hunting for four coarse thread bolts that secure the shift boot to the top of the box on the drive tunnel.  Attached photos of what I believe I need.  My car is a 7/1/66 projected production SJ built HP Conv.  Bolts must be rust free unrestored originals.

Your picture is of a sheet metal screw . I believe the correct fastener instead is a different thread bolt. Sorry I don't have a picture. I bet Jim has the specs.

I'm as confused as Bob as to what you are showing.
Let's start here:
What transmission?
You will NOT find "rust free unrestored originals" after 56 years.

For manual trans:

50527-S2   2   FF049   1/4-20X5/8PAN 1/2,XREC   SCREW,PAN,PHLPS   4   TRANS,MT,SHIFT BOOT COVER,3 SP&4 SP


Now you are going to have to re-thread or use an insert on the threads in the car.
Alternatively, just braze the hole. MIGed holes get far too hard.

NPD pic of the screws, 7138-1K, for reference or purchase.

Forgot to add transmission type is manual so the screws you've identified at NPD are what I'm hunting for.  They are for a t-bred so I'll need OEM screws.
