Anyone have a picture of the head and bolt hardware that's on 70-71 E body tie rod clamp?
The one's I have have an A in the middle with 3 lines. The nuts have a small dimple with a red paint spot in it. Are these the right ones?
Also where can you buy the repros.
You already have the correct ones. The red "paint" is actually a threadlocker. I know of no supply for these, but that doesn't mean they do not exist. why not strip and replate them? I do it all the time and it's really not that hard to do.

The one's I have have an A in the middle with 3 lines. The nuts have a small dimple with a red paint spot on . Are these the right ones? the threads on the bolts are fine thread pitch.
Red spot is on the outside of the nut.
I do have the Eastwood black phosphate kit, a tumbler and Rust away. And yes, I have been restoring a lot of my hardware already.
It's easy to do and makes great evening work when it's just to hot like it is here now.
As stated previously, what you have is right, just replate them and you will be good to go. If your nuts are all beat up, get some new one's from Bill A. No one likes their nuts beat up.
