71 73 Hardware Listing from Concourse Forum

To share from another forum and the hard work of others.  These are updated listings from an earlier post. This post appeared in the Concourse Forum and I thought I would share for others to use as a starting point or a validation tool.  I have not looked it over so I cannot attest to the validity.  Others can offer up there observations of the listings as I know this has been discussed before on markings and finishes of hardware from various suppliers.

BKDunha Can you re-post these in Concourse section. They will be easier to find in the future

They should already be in that section

Well I have worked out what I need, It seems the Vertical Headlight support bracket (which bolts onto the Radiator support panel

Has a short Black sems bolt 7/16 Hex head 3/4 washer and in length is 5/8  1/4 -20 thread

The other bolts that the main headlight frame assembly and base plate have

 Black sems bolt 7/16 Hex head 3/4 washer and in length is 7/8  1/4 -20 thread

The shorter bolts make sense so as not to catch your hand or arm on them if working around the Radiator.

So my next question is trying to find the bolts, I can get the 7/8 length bolts on ebay but I cant find the shorter 5/8 length ones?

I would be happy with used bolts as long as the threads are good and the heads not rounded.

24hrs in phosphoric acid makes them new again
