assembly location??? Thanks DH [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img] </div></div> DH, that's the 64 thousand dollar question. And the 3rd most asked question I get right after "Is this bolt correct for my car" and the #1 question "do you have a reference book listing all the headmarkings, sizes and plating for (insert make and model here....)" Honestly the best way to go about this is by Era. What year are you talking about. If you ask anyone who has worked on or restored "Original untouched" cars for years they become familiar with what bolts were used on a 67 Corvette or 70 Chevelle. Corvettes are easy 1 plant. Camaros Novas and Chevelles are a little trickier because of multiple plants. But the manufactures/suppliers were all the same so that's why the best way to judge is by year. Now to even further throw a wrench into the works are Fonts, tool wear and changing Logos from the same manufacture. Just as an example there are around 10 different Fonts used on TR valve cover bolts. Same goes for M trans mount bolts and any small block intake bolt. That's why I first as the year and make of the car your working on and go from there. Hope this helps...there is no magic answer and if anyone say "I never saw this bolt here" well they just have not worked on enough original cars [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] |
