I bought the fender bolt kit from R/T specialties for my 69 Charger. The ones they send we the gold cadium plated ones. I know that they need to be painted, but are they correct other than that? do they have the correct head markings?

Thanks

Duane

I do not have the answer for you.

mmc detroit has a fastener book I understand is pretty accurate.
If these are the one on the top that attach outer to inner I can verify given a few days.
I recall them being black phosphate under paint (painted after fender attached) and the head with a raised rim w/o any particular torque markings.
There may be a manufacturer mark though.

no

Little Detroit Restorations at littledetroitrestorations,com has all oem correct fasteners with correct head markings and black phosphate , already in kits ready for you 304 797 0607

Pretty much anybody selling authentic reproduction Chrysler fasteners is buying them from AMKproducts.com, because AMK is pretty much the sole source. You can buy from AMK too. Little Detroit is not listed as a dealer, but it's possible if they're buying from AMK in large quantities that they are re-selling cheaper than AMK for small quantities.

Apparently AMK does not have a "master kit" for body bolts, but they definitely do sell all the correct panel fasteners you'd need, meaning you need to have a bill of materials and buy to that, fastener by fastener as listed in AMK Bulk Fasteners. Maybe Little Detroit has made a bill of materials and offers a kit.

For A-body (sorry, I don't have a B-body) definitely all fender fasteners are grade 5 machine screws with captive convex washers, 5/16" diameter, with U-nuts, all phosphated, and the machine screws have makers' marks like "SEMS", "GL", and anchor. Grille panels and brackets behind the grille are the same, except 1/4". The only zinc plated fasteners are a few shim washers and the hood height adjusters.

I suspect A-body fender bolts are much the same as B-body, except maybe 3/8" instead of 5/16". FWIW here's a 1969 Barracuda bill of materials and assembly sketch for fender fasteners that might help somebody.

Thank you all for the info!

I remembered to look on my '69 RR - St. Louis car, SPD 2/12/69, unmolested 17,800-mile original car.
Fender bolts have a raised G in their centers, a raised L inside the G, and a single raised line @ 12:00, 6:00, and 9:00 positions.
I'm used to seeing a raised anchor, or a couple of concentric circles with (IIRC) short lines radiating outward on my '68 & '69 B-bodies.
Hope that helps.
