Correct Export Brace to Cowl Fasteners?
« on: December 30, 2018, 09:13:40 PM »
Guys,
What are the correct bolts, washers, and nuts for the four fasteners on the cowl for the export brace?  I can only find aftermarket junk online and I’m sure that mine are not correct since the bolts appear too long (but who knows maybe I am wrong).

You need to start posting when the car was finished at Ford and or SA in the future so we don't have to ask . There are many early later differences in 67 production. In this case just like many others it depends on when the car was built at Ford. Early Shelby's used the Ford hardware and later Shelby's used a more generic hardware store type bolt. The are hardware store generic style had a plain head with no markings and was S7 finish.

I would suggest using the generic type hardware based on those dates. AMK sells a kit.
