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.   Post to Canberra. Dave. |

I went to a local fastener shop and purchased some stainless bolts to attach my bumpers, not original and a little bit of work involved but worth it in my opinion. 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.

Thanks Stinky. 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. |

And even better in real life. 4 mirror finish bumper bolts in stainless. Thanks for tips.  |

Pete. The clips I thought were for dividers don't even come close to resembling the real thing. 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. |

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.

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.
