What size nuts and bolts should I buy for the front fenders, inner fenders, etc? Is there a place I can go to find this type of information? The assembly manual doesn't seem to have it.

You could probably get away w/ 3/4'' or 7/8'' w/ the captured nuts for the inner fenders and firewall. I'd also use a nyloc and washers of course then use the longer bolts. That way there wouldn't be vibration causing nuts to loosen.

| | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | The bolt set I got for my 54 were 3/8-16. The parts houses have a bolt kit you can buy either in stainless or zinc that have all you need. That is the way to go IMO. | | |
