Caseyrhe 650 Report post Posted September 16, 2017 Just guessing now due to size.....Fuel line frame clips? maybe post another pic of mystery bolt beside a splash guard bolt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Conway 264 Report post Posted September 16, 2017 No help here but do recognize the bolt. The fine/tight threads struck me as odd making it/them memorable. Working on it. Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted September 16, 2017 They look like GM fender mounting bolts ,mustang fuel line clamp bolts are blunt on the ends with a notch in the side for self threading Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JET 445 43 Report post Posted September 17, 2017 My car also had those bolts, I think there were only about 2 or 4 of them but after 7 years since I had pulled it apart I could not remember what they were for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raven R code 281 Report post Posted September 18, 2017 My 69 is the only car I've every had apart. They were in my nuts and bolts inventory.....and for whatever reason unmarked. No sign of corrosion from being exterior so my guess would be interior . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
det0326 179 Report post Posted September 18, 2017 I remember those also on my car. Could it be lower dash bolts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danno 128 Report post Posted September 18, 2017 I also have several of those. Could they be for the fender extensions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raven R code 281 Report post Posted September 19, 2017 They fit for the lower dash....could be that's what they're for. Funny that others recognize them too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPM 1,190 Report post Posted September 19, 2017 Where in the lower dash? All of my lower dash mounting bolts looked like this with the captive washer: Back to Jim's post, none of my oem bolts have that head mark, which may mean nothing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted September 19, 2017 My dash bolts are the same as RPMs ,i am the first one to take mine apart.I stick with the GM BOLT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone just found some GM bolts and used them because it was easier than finding the correct bolts Yes, but it happened to so many of us. I have never had a GM car within 40 feet of my garage. I am thinking these were used when the holes did not automatically line up, and the installers needed a guide to get them in. Maybe in a hidden place where they could not see if they holes lined up, and the bolt helped the pieces line up... like the fender extensions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 70 I bought, partially disassembled, had similar bolts like the ones pictured. The prior owner had tagged and bagged them....lower radiator brackets and then several for the fuel line clips Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1969_Mach1 333 Report post Posted April 19, 2018 They do look like the lower radiator mounting bracket bolts for a saddle mount radiator. But the quantity Raven has is more than what those brackets need. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
