Default Re: Repro Body Bolts compared to originals

Again the repro bolt is on the left. Now looking at the side you can see the real difference the threads and tip. The original bolt is 7/8" from under the head to the tip and because of the new manufacturing process they can't reproduce the original "Pinch Point" on the end making it noticeably sharper, pointer and longer causing the threads to be cut short to retain the overall length. So a 7/8" bolt has 3/4" thread. This is easily spotted by a sharp eyed judge and now you!!!
