Spare Tire Bucket - Front Bolts

[Steven J.]

I'm trying to find out whether the two front spare tire bucket bolts - the ones that hold the lid bracket - have any specific bolt head markings. The bolts on my 66 are in decent shape, but as most probably are, the heads were a bit rusty. I have removed them, cleaned them and refinished them. Now I'm wondering if they are original bolts or possibly newer repros. I've only had the car for about 3 yrs & it was fully restored back in the late '80's so it's possible that the bolts were replaced at that time. The bolt heads are not just flat, but if there was a certain head marking, it is no longer distinguishable.

Thx guys.

This is what I've observed.

Thx Don. I'll relook at mine & see if I can detect anything that resembles that marking.

& Happy New Year to you too.
