Franklin31 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I have all 4 out of the rear of my 151, will measure and see & advise if it is the same. Note: use a Dremel with the thicker cut disk( about 1/16") to cut a screwdriver slot in the bottom of the bolt; keeps bolt from turning and keeps from using vice-grips on the stainless head cap; Still had to use acetylene torch and on one I still had to Dremel-off the Nut; even pal nuts are hard to find in NF threads--NC are easy to find; takes a thinner nut. Later~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franklin31 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) Bolt dimensions & thread on my 1931 (151) Vic is the same as above. The 4 on back (bumperetts) are with stainless caps; the 2 on the front have a head that is more domed and appears that is a chrome plated bolt w/o the stainless cap(have not taken the front ones off yet). Photo is of one of the rears; the dark nut is original; the bright nut is a pal nut; reg. nuts are too thick; the lock washer is orig. and these narrow ones are hard to find--haven't located yet. Slot in end of bolt made with Dremel tool for screwdriver. Edited January 10, 2014 by Franklin31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odat Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 If the bolts have a SS cap we could make the bolt to the shape of the finished cap as one piece. Also we can make the nut also if needed.Anything can be done as long as there is a need from many!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
