Do the 68s use the RWB bolts or the plain bolts like 1969-70.

"Thank you for sharing the information. It is difficult to determine the nut size without special tools, which are quite expensive. However, in addition to this, I have another problem. I tried to tighten a new nut, but it cracked under pressure. What could have caused this? A friend suggests that the problem is with the nut's quality and advises looking into the Scrooz (https://www.scrooz.com.au/fasteners/rivets/) store. I don't have much experience repairing cars, so I asked for help on the forum. If I don't find an answer, I probably should apply so as not to spend money on new parts."
