Hi Guys

Rebuilding a K Frame to take the LS.

Anyone know where I can source a new set of mounting bolts?

Cheers

i COULDN'T find originals so I had to buy something similar from the bolt shop

I'll try to have a scrounge around and see if I can find any next week. But I'm not hopeful.

 

I wonder if you could buy them from somewhere like 'Nice Products' who make all the wheel studs? They don't happen to be 1/2" do they? (Or are they a bit smaller?) UNC I guess but you could change to UNF if it gave you better "wheel stud" options.

Not shooting the messenger mate, but Fr0ck me, $110 for 4 bolts??? Price gouging at its finest.

I might have some spares, but not 100% sure.

You could try using 12 point head ARP bolts. The 12 point head will make it easy to get a ring spanner onto the bolt.

Given they are a weird specialty bolt and nearly unfindable that’s not a bad price. They look to be in good nick too.

By the time you go and buy bolts, cut flats on the sides of the heads, taper them and wonder how to recreate the knurling and the big weird head I think i would rather have the originals.

So I found the container with my odd bolts in it. So far, I have found one.

I've probably got a couple laying around here somewhere.

 

Years ago i was looking for the UCA > K-frame bolts . After exhaustive research i found that Nova  / Camaro (i think) bolts were exactly the same. The price was $50 / box of 100 bolts. 

I made the mistake of mentioning this to a 'reputable' car part restoration company.

 

3 months later they have them listed for $28 ea.

Did you end up finding some?

[tuxedoss]

Who’s looking for these? I just took 4 of them off the dolly I made to support the front end

[Heath]

I think I found a pair of outrigger bolts, but yeah not the studs described above.

Is it just me or are all the comments out of sequence , including the original post which is halfway through the comments for me
