    Bolts / Where did they come from?

    I have had some of my 1963 Corvette apart for years!
    I did keep them all, bolts that is.
    Mostly I put them back in the holes they came out of and there they stayed.
    However some didn't make it past the plastic bag.

    Now I am wondering where did they come from?
    These may be the clutch fan? They are the right size and quantity and possibly the correct grade for the clutch.
    They are 5/16 NF and 3/4" long.
    Pictured below;


    I have nine of these:


    5/16 NC 3/4 Long
    The have both flat and lock washer that are not captive. All appear to be zinc plated.
    Because of the fender washer (extra large outside diameter) I suspect they are for the core support?
    The washer is bored for 5/16 but has the outside diameter the same as a 3/8 flat washer.

    I have two of these 3/8 X 7/8 NC. Black with captive locking washer incorporated into the bolt body.

    No idea what they might be for....

    I am also wondering what is the finish for the straps that retain the Expansion Tank to the body on a 63?


    Thanks in advance for any possible help.

    According to the 63 -64 judging guide, the straps that secure the gas tank are semi-gloss black; fasteners that secure the straps to the cross member (support bracket) should be cad or zinc - with the exception of the small black removable bracket that the fasteners go through - they should be semi-gloss black.

      Thanks for the reply. However I was attempting to reference the small straps that retain the expansion tank to the wheel well area under the hood.

        Richard,

        Are you certain the bolts in pic 1 are 5/16, the fan clutch to water pump is a grade 8 bolt but I think 1/4" size.

        The second pic could be fan shroud to core support.

        The last pic looks like front stabilizer bracket to frame and/or front lower control arm bumper attaching. they could also be battery bracket to frame and not have the larger flat washers still attached. I can't remember if they are captive or a separate part, check your AIM.

          Rich, I agree with Tim on the first set of bolts 5/16 fine, pic 2 is either exhaust hangers or radiator support(6) and radiator top mount bolts(3)? 3rd pic, maybe lower transmission mount? just a guess.
