Title: Early frame horn bolt
Post by: ajp on July 24, 2022, 05:24:04 PM
Hi all,

Has anyone got a spare frame horn bolt please - it's for a '57 pan.

One of mine in poor shape - don't want to use it after I clean up the horn threads with a tap.

Thanks,
Andy

Don`t be tempted to re-use the old bolt. If no one on here has a decent one going spare give the lads at megabug a call. I would be quite surprised if they couldn`t help and I don`t think the cost would be excessive. (before i dig thro` my shed is it the long or short version you have ?

Thanks Paul, but I don't know the answer! It's an early pan which I believe used the larger head version of the bolt?

Is the threaded length about an inch in length or much longer?
