66 Strut Rods & Hardware
« on: September 06, 2012, 01:21:26 PM »

Can anyone provide any identification/date code help for strut-rods, washers, nuts, steering stop-brackets, bushings, and attaching bolts...

For a MAR 1966 C-Code Metuchen Convertible.

The strut rods have no dating or engineering numbers on them.  The only mark is a narrow raised line, which indicates that that side gets mounted pointing down.  There is usually a yellow paint daub near the mark.

The washers would be phosphate/oil, the big locking nut, typically cadmium or zinc.
