Default Fastener Sizes?

OK guys, if I have a part number from the '71 AIM, where do I go to find out what the specifics for the actual fastener are (length, diameter, thread pitch, etc) so I can buy replacements?

Still Learning...

You need to find the gm parts and illustration catalog for those specifics.

Hi Paul,
Another good source, especially for the 68-72 chassis and running gear fastener specifics, is the "Corvette Chassis Restoration Guide" by Joseph Tripoli, Jr..
Although this guide was first published in 1989 I see it's still available from various vendors for around $24.
I refer to it quite often.
Regards,
Alan

Thanks Alan, I already have his guide but had forgotten it had the chassis fastener info.

Thank-you also 69, after drilling down through their web site, I was able to find their extensive catalog.


I really appreciate all the help you fellow forum members provide
