Trying to verify original radiator mounting bolts

[Enoch]

This design started sometime in 70 not 69. your bolts should have a pinched point Recessed/flanged head. GM pt # 396014. And more specifically the M in a hex is late 70's early 80's from what I have seen. Original headmarkings for 69's would be RBW, E Anchor, $, 23 C and a few more. Hope this helps, Rich.

I took a few pictures of the bolts holding my radiator on my 69 SB Camaro. It has 13k original miles on it (Ohio car). I don't think the radiator has ever been out of the car. I don't know if BB and SB had same mounting pattern, Mikey will know.

Here are the bolt from the driver's side:



Passenger side: Bolts have points:




Overall picture:

PS. I can get bolt head markings later if you need them.

I'd guess that there were a bunch of changes after the 69 launch that took about a month to implement. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]
