Repro Body Bolts compared to originals
I don't think I have seen anyone do a side by side comparison of the repro body/fender bolts next to originals. So here it goes. In tis picture the repro bolt is on the left. The flange on the original is wider, the shape of the flange is not perfectly round but flowers out on the flats of the hex while it draws back s=at the corners of the hex.
Now before you say I'm nuts I think the repros are great but if your going to that ultimate level in a restoration you can tell the difference. Nest we will look at the side of the bolt.
