Re: Paging Steve2000SS!!!!!!!!!! Steve must be having WAYYYYY too much fun in the California Sun!!
I was digging throught some stuf that I had gotten, and found the business card of the co. that sells the bow tie bolts.
It is:
Hilco Fastener Warehouse.
# 714-534-6882
e-mail hillco@hillcofasteners.com
If I recall correctly they only sell standard size bolts so you would have to tap out any locations where you would want to put them

Re: Paging Steve2000SS!!!!!!!!!! Hey there.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
I think I used the #20 bolts.. I will go down and check what Tap i used to modify the bold holes from the 10mm. Its actually pretty close to 10mm so the tapping is not that hard.. just take your time using proper tapping techniques <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Yes, Hillco is where I go.. in fact i was there yeasterday.. Funny thing is the Hillco guy said a Camaro guy said he saw my car at Super Chevy and was in there buying up bolts and washers.. so much for me being unique.. lol

Re: Paging Steve2000SS!!!!!!!!!! Hope ya had a good weekend <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
I use a 1/4 20 NC (non corse) tap to convert the 10mm factory bolt holes so that they will accept the standard bolts. When you tap have patience.. start it carefully and go a bit then back out.. then go a bit.. a little oil will make your tap last a LOT longer.. dont be afraid to use pressure.. its a feel sort of thing.. I did it and im by far no expert <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> -- Oh, I only did this to my bolts in the radiator support.. the bolts holding the fenders on are dome-headed 10mm metric bolts (stainless steel)
My most common washer size is 3/8 ~ I use this with a 1/4 20 7/8 chrome bowtie bolt with integrated washer (washer fits in aluminum washer so it must be 3/8).. They dont use part numbers so its sorta hard.. I use 1/4 colored washer and 1/4 chrome washer (with stainless 10mm bolt) for miscelanious grounding bolts and such..
Your best bet is to find a fastener store in your area.. they typically cater to the "hot rod" guys and older cars.. This way you can do what I do and take bolts in and ask for something nicer.. or try different sizes and such..
I hope this helps a litte <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
