KO Wheel with Gold Line Spare Tire Tub Front Bolt?

[James W.]

Does anyone have a picture of a correct spare tire tub front bolt(s) for a 1965/1966 Corvette equipped with knock-off wheels and gold line tires?

Thanks,

James

James,

With Goldline tire, for either steel rim or knockoff rim, the hinge/strap bolts were GM 3872958. A GM engineering drawing in Noland Adams’ book, p. 301, indicates 10.38” overall length. The ‘66 JG says 10 1/4”.

Here’s a photo of the engineering drawing from Noland’s book.

Gary,

Thanks for the reply. It suddenly dawned on my to go check Noland's book. The '65 JG also specifies 10-1/4".

Thanks,

James
