Hi, my vette did not come with a spare wheel or spare wheel carrier. I now have one but it doesn't have the two bolts that go through the upper tub into the cross member below the fuel tank.
Anyone know what size these are or if they are a nut and bolt arrangement?
Thanks!

They are special bolts with large ends or some have hooks, depends on which year. The corvette parts folks should have them.

Hi rh,
I think you're asking about the bolts that mount the carrier lid to the frame. There's a nut welded into the crossmember for the bolt.
Hex head 5/16"x18 x 9/16" long.
With a flat washer and split lock washer.
Regards,
Alan

I google this, they look like special bolts. My 78 is a special straight bolt.

The bolts that hold the top cover to the frame are 5/16-18 x 1/2" and they have a small, flat 'fender washer' under them. They are torqued to 6-8 ft-lbs (72-96 in-lbs).

Just go down to the hardware store and get 'em. They're just bolts.
