Title: Odd pieces gone missing Post by: DJ on November 07, 2013, 12:30:18 PM Hope someone out there may be able to help with a couple of things that have walked out of the shed when I wasn't looking.
1 small vertical mould under tail light. Happy to buy a pair. 2 bumper bolts that fix wrap around ends to back quarter panels.

Depending on the brand you might have file off some letters/numbers, then it's just a few minutes on the bench grinder with a polishing wheel.

I think I'll probably end up doing just that. There's a good specialty fastener shop here. Just need the size & they can match them.

Depending on the brand you might have file off some letters/numbers, then it's just a few minutes on the bench grinder with a polishing wheel. And even better in real life. 4 mirror finish bumper bolts in stainless. Thanks for tips.

If you still have some I'd be keen to buy a set for both strips. I'm guessing that's 6 in total. If you need to make them I can wait until after the silly season. Dave.

Title: Re: Odd pieces gone missing Post by: DJ on December 09, 2013, 07:18:01 PM I found the short thick ones there but not the longer 5/16" bolts for the side returns connecting to the quarter panel.
Maybe I described the item incorrectly over the phone. Title: Re: Odd pieces gone missing Post by: collecta on December 09, 2013, 08:30:43 PM rares dont have any stock,some thing to do with there American supplier they tell me.
Cheers Scott Title: Re: Odd pieces gone missing Post by: FC Dave on December 09, 2013, 09:54:24 PM I have just bought bumper bolts from earlybitz on evilbay. He has a lot of nick nack stuff.
Title: Re: Odd pieces gone missing Post by: DJ on December 09, 2013, 11:22:09 PM He does have quite a lot listed. I have to say he seems to know the current market & the items that are hard to find. The specific bolts I was after were 5 times more than the same in SS. Outside the restoration world they are a common size in stainless, but granted, they are not newly chromed originals.
