C2 1965 Hard Top Side Bolts

[David H.]

Also, while I'm on the deck, the left side bolt came with the car and I assume original. The right bolt is a repop that has a slight flat 'dimple' front & center. Does the left hand bolt appear correct and original?
Thanks again,
Dave

It looks right to me. This particular bolt, GM #3727973, was actually used for many years on Corvettes. As a matter of fact, it's still available from GM. I suspect your "repop" is actually a later GM piece of the original part number. The differences from the original are really quite minor.

Thank you Joe. I was curious. The 'repop' is actually pretty much identical. On close examination, I noticed it had a flat 'dimple' - that being the only difference I could tell. I suspected the other was likely original. I found it 'lost' down a cubbyhole in the car and fished it out and cleaned it up.
