Title: Fiberglass End Cap Fasteners
Post by: nightmist67 on January 04, 2023, 10:45:56 AM
What would be the correct fasteners (markings) to attach the fiberglass end caps on a 1967 Shelby with a late January 1967 Shelby build date?

Here is an example from a unrestored car recorded to have been finished in the beginning of Jan. Likely have more but what is handy at the moment. Will look for more when I return. Looking at what I've got uploaded do have a mid Feb also example

RBW with circles with a sunken head

Hope this helps

Like front fender type bolt, but don't over-tighten on the fiberglass end-caps

For this production period I've not found that the end caps and front fender to inner fender bolt head markings matched one another. Two different plants (San Jose and SA) and likely two different suppliers.

If some one has an unrestored car that differs would love to see that example and compare it to the 100 or so examples I've got.
