Front Bumper Iron - The bolts that are in the body....

Hello

Would anyone know what the bolts look like that slide into the front members slots that hold the bumper iron on??

Thanks

Marc

You talking about the carriage bolts?

 

[Marc-M]

ahhh - so simple - i guess they just slide into the slots in the chassis legs!

Thanks

A bit of a PIA to do btw.

When I removed my front bumper from the parts car before she left, my wife said "that wasn't fun in the dirt...", to which I said, "have gravel, will travel". Yes...a little PIA, and the shoulder...Sux getting older.

Body still at paint shop ... the windscreens are being trial fitted today - all the doors and gaps are now spot on and looking great.


Put the engine on the subframe last night, and now I need to start putting all the little bits on the engine - the HT leads need to go in the tube, power steering pump, dip stick tube to clean and paint - fan... etc etc
Lots of grubby finger marks on the engine - so needs a clean...

Has anyone use a clear stain finish clear heat proof lacquer spray on the engine to help clean easy???

Nice Alpine in the background Marc. I had a series II and a series IV as a younger man. Much fun

Have you checked out ACF-50 spray for your engine aluminium ?

Marc, You are going to need to shorten the strut bearing bolts. Those are the longer ones used with the alu strut spacers that went under the fender.

opps - put it in the wrong post....but thanks - will get some of that ACF 50 and give it a try....


Thanks to all

Marc
