Chrome bumper bolts

Postby Adrian Worman » 17 Feb 2010 19:06

Hiya mates
Just got a new set of chrome bumpers for my 72 but did'nt find any domed chrome coach bolts with them. Did the factory use a particular style of fixing or will any "classic car" spares outlet supply them?

Do an internet search for a supplier. But places like Year One do them.

They come in different sizes. The ones on the Challenger are just under an inch across on the head. Something like 7/8ths and a 3/8-UNC thread.

Usually they are not chrome but have a polished stainless cap.

Many thanks! Although I was hoping to get some that weren't chromed, so I could paint them along with the bumpers!

They were not chromed! They were capped with stainless steel. :roll:
