Wondering if there is a place to get the unique, specific, special type bolts for our cars. There are so many different applications and locations but the ones I am looking for are the 4 steering knuckle to spindle bolts and castle nuts.

The bolts are lower profile head and has the hole for cotter pin.

There are lots of other special hardware, where do you guys find them or are most from taking parts cars apart.

Name the specific application and chances are that someone has some good used OEM hardware. The factory stuff is the best to use. It fits, it is durable and is correct in appearance.
I have yet to buy any hardware from a repro-vendor except for a Grille kit for my 70 Charger. There are specific plastic spacer/washers that would be just as bad from a parts car as my own were.

Yeah, I was thinking that the original unique application type hardware would only be used oem, I would strip every piece of hardware from the parts cars that Ive had and I have a good amount of hardware but slowly been using it.

The car is a 67 Coronet, I sold the stock factory disk brakes and am replacing it with drum spindles and wilwood brakes and all new wear parts, I didn't think to keep the hardware it went with the sale.

I would be happy to buy them from a member

AMK makes a lot of original hardware. If they don't have it then it probably doesn't exist. Some used stuff isn't too hard to find since Mopar used the same bolts for a lot of years, but the older stuff is drying up.

Spend some time figuring out their web site, and you'll find lots of good stuff.

If you contact MrMoparts they'll put a kit together for you.

Does a regular profile bolt head interfere with anything? If you are running Wilwood brakes I'm thinking OEM correct appearance isn't a high priority. If there is an interference issue, you could trim the heads down on a lathe.

Thanks for the links and suggestions guys.

I have a couple local guys looking for some for me hopefully either someone here or home will come up with a set.

Two stick, I could turn down the heads and drill holes for the cotter pins (X4) but I just rather not go through so much trouble for hardware that should be available
