I've owned my 62 F.I. for over 30 years and am not sure that I have the correct bolts holding the air cleaner to the fenderwell. Can some one with an original car please let me know what type of head they have? Mine are just 1/4 20 hex head, nothing special but after all this time I thought I'd check. Thanks Rich #2276

Re: 62 F.I. air cleaner bolts
Rich--
I've spent considerable time looking at this, and the only ones that I can verify as originals are kinda strange.
They are a countersunk head with an MM overlapping marking, with a flat washer that is not detatchable and also not a part of the head.
What's interesting is that these have coarse self-tapping threads, and are not a standard machine-screw thread.
I've deocumented these on about 10 original 62's. Not saying that they are the only thing used, but certainly very much used. Also, they are a blackened finish, not a cad or zinc plating.
