Title: 67 Leaf Spring Eye Bolt
Post by: Shelboss on October 17, 2023, 02:29:52 PM
The leaf spring eye bolt off my 67 GT350 has a double D head on it and is 6" long. Doesn't seem to be very common or available. I have owned the car since 1974 and judging from it's condition when I pulled it back then it looks original. Any insight on what their history is would be appreciated, thanks

Original bolts are hex head with somewhat pointed ends.  Washer under head and flange nut on the outside toward rocker.

The "F" marking is very typical. Get some while you can. AMK has been slowly running out different assemblyline marked bolts for years.

Let me know if you need originals I may have a set.   I have lots of hardware left over from 67 GT500 and 66 GT350 restoration as I used all new AMK and kept the original hardware
