Stupid bolts and screws & antenna mast.

[Richard G.]

As many of you know my dilemma, help failed to put screws back into the holes so I could find and identify them.

Anyway that part is history, hoping to get some more help.

1) The headlight door switch, retaining screw or bolts, what do they look like? Also need to know it there there "J" nuts in this location?



Horn attachment bolts, any details would help.
LIC lists 63 as WB headed bolts with serrated washers.
I ordered a set but it would be interesting to have other input on the correct finish etc.


Which is an original antenna?
I provided a NOS antenna and the old box was returned with a new antenna in it. Now I am not sure which one is NOS and which is a replacement, that I didn't need.


Thanks in advance for all the help.
Rick

Re: Stupid bolts and screws & antenna mast.

Rich, my 63 horn bolts have a UR marking and are Cad. , the 63 antenna's do not have a ring at the tops of each antenna mast, and the masts all retract almost flush. (some of the NOS ones do not). As with most GM cars they were many different suppliers.

Thank you Ed.
Wondering if the horn bolts had lock washers or serrated ones?

I will look for you when I get home from work. I am going to say Star washers?? but not certain.

Re: Stupid bolts and screws & antenna mast.

Ed was correct.
A much closer look at my horn mounting ares answered my own horn mounting question (lock washer or star washers).
Below is a picture of my horn's mounting bolt area.
Sure appears to have had a star washer installed.

With nine points on the star washer. I will count them on the replacement to be sure I have install the correct star washer....
That's a joke of course!

I do intend to clean the paint from the area under the bolt to get a good ground.
Take Care.
