Body Bolt Question

Post by JoeM37B1 »

I'm re-assembling an M37B1 and need to know if there's a source for bolts for attaching the front/rear fenders, splash shields, etc., instead of trying to salvage the corroded take off bolts. Or, do y'all just use common hardware store bolts? Thanks for any suggestions.

Buy bags of fine and coarse thread Grade 8 at your local Fastenal Store, plus washers and nuts. Then paint them when all done. hc

Charles at M-Series Rebuild sells cans of used bolts that could be blasted clean then painted.
