Title: GT 350 export brace attaching parts
Post by: Rukiddin on January 30, 2020, 06:49:24 PM
My notes do not state if the flat washer goes on top of pinchweld at firewall,or under. Seems that I thought odd that bolt went through brace w/o washer....what is correct? Thanks

The same attachment hardware was used for the export brace from 65-68. The installers attached the hardware a couple different ways over the years . By far the most prevalent way in both 67 and 68 is as 68blk500c described.

And you have a rather plain looking hardware store bolt ?

Yes,,no marking at all. Positive they are original. Well,as positive as my research on this car ,from pictures has been so far. Getting closer to reaching goal of completion by May. So many little details and choices to deal with.......
