raydurr Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I am in need of two nuts that go thru each front bumper bracket. They go thru the inner side and thread onto the front spring bolt. The thread is 11/16-16. The hex is 1" . I prefer to find them ready to use vs. having them machined. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzBob Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Ray, Thanks for posting the photos of those bumper bracket nuts. I am fitting a front bumper to my 1926-26 and wondered what those nuts looked like. The dimensions on the stock spring bolt nuts are 3/4" across the flats and .912" diameter on the shoulder with a 9/16-18 thread. (overall smaller) The stock nuts do not fit the holes in the bumper brackets, necessitating the need for custom machined nuts. In my case I have the facilities to machine the nuts. Machining may be your only option. Edited January 23, 2015 by AzBob additional information (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomwallace Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hello guys.I have a 1929 Buick 46S Rumble seat Coupe. It is a nice driver that needs a freshening up. I was going to make sure it has all the correct components as I work on the car. The car looks quite complete to me.I have looked quite carefully at the front end near the spring bolt and I cannot see a nut like the one you have photographed. Maybe it was replaced with something else.Could you explain exactly where this nut is used and perhaps a photo?Thanks muchTom Wallace, Dayton, OH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bolt comes from outside the frame , thru the spring and threads into the front hanger. The exposed threads are the ones the crown nut goes on. The recess below the hex is the part that goes thru the front bumper bracket. I would photograph , but my car in in many pieces at the moment.
