*** '68 Seat Hinge ***
Hello - Can anybody who owns a '68 post a picture of what the OEM seat hinge bolt looks like. I am sure mine is not correct. Keep in mind that mine is an early '68 model. Therefore a pic of an early '68 would be great. I will then know what to look for.
Thanks in advance BK3

When I get a chance, Mike, I will post a pic of mine. I am confident you will agree with me that they are not correct. BK3

A shot of chrome in a can will fix it right up.

Has anyone else had bolts like this on an early 68? It looks to have the correct shape from the side, except for the normal 6 pointed bolt head. Lou.

Yes Lou, my question exactly. Just wondering if this was an early '68 only install on the assembly line with a revision done mid year. Maybe another early '68 owner will chime in to confirm.
Merry Christmas, everyone. BK3
