Seems sources of 55-59 parts come and go..Not many carry the hardware-type stuff..Looking for those special bolts with the forged washer like shape. Anyone making these? I think the last time I needed them McMaster Carr had something similar.
Thanks,
Keith

May want to give them a try in your areas.
EDIT: the bolts your referring to are called "flanged bolts".

Get one of their catalogs or check out their on-line catalog to find what you need. They're usually less expensive than the auto supply catalogs too.

Flange bolts and nuts can be had off several older cars and trucks.
