I have surfed through a pile of catalogs, and am preparing to return the second wrong one to Summit Racing. I can fabricate one, but it takes time, and never looks as nice as the store-bought. Also, can someone give me a contact for buying flange bolts. I don't want to wait until summer car shows where the fastener vendors have anything I could need. | | |

I am continually amazed at the variety of fasteners and hardware these guys carry. Small bearings, bushings, roll pins, inside and out C-clips, snap rings, woodruff keys, seals, o-rings, springs, gasket material and my eyes can't stop spinning. When I'm in any of the local auto parts store I give them hell for having such small selections of bolts, that are usually mixed up.
I am not connected with them in way. It's just that in my area, no one store has anything close to their selection.
Oh, you wanted bolts. Flange bolts and nuts?
Course or metric? I have to say that they did let me down about three weeks ago. I needed a flanged metric bolt for my AC braket 110mm long, they only had them up to 100mm.

You would pick one up at a wreckers yard cheap. It might depend on the year of the 350 and what type of pump though. Mid to late 60's was ok.

I expect the power steering bracket bolts to the front motor mount holes, which I am currently using for motor mounts. I fabricated a bracket which bolts to the head for my power steering pump, so the only room left is on the right. I don't care for the space-age brackets which mount everything up high.
Regarding flange bolts, there are no Orchard Supply Hardware stores around here that I'm aware of. All the auto parts stores in town (we have one of every variety, plus several regional chains) and hardware stores don't carry them, and say it is a special order (read expensive ) to get them. | | |
