Do any of you have a couple of Vent Wing Allen Head Cap Bolts laying around for the Vent Frame adjustment? Page 621 Fig. 62 of the shop manual. Thanks a lot.
 
Have a pic of them might have them on 66 cuda doors if that would work.

66 DVERT has a post in the early "A" Body forum with a picture. I think I can get a couple of the bolts at a good hardware store, the spacers not. Thanks for reply
 
Here is a picture of the installation..

Yes, the bolts are just plain old 1/4-20 Allen socket head cap screws. The plate can be made from a pice of sheet metal. Just space some 9/32 holes to match the holes in the vent window frame.

Thanks.. By the way you don't happen to know the dimensions of the plate, I think it is a rectangle..

I don't have one out at the moment and the weatherstip is glued over my access holes so I can't help with that. Sorry.
 
there is a little flat plat that is slotted that slides down in there also if you don't find the screws or the plates let me know

The screws I can get at a hardware store, the plates are a problem all four are missing. I might be able to make them out of fender washers, if I know the size. Thanks for your time and help!

My door has two rectangular openings per door where the bolts go in with nothing in between. Thanks
 
take a pic and dig in those holes and see if the flat plate is still in there

I can take a picture tomorrow, really not necessary, there is nothing there. The bolt I have was just started in window assy. threads, it would not hold anything. The plate I am thinking should sit on top of the rectangular openings in the door to allow adjustment of the vent window. Is this correct? Thanks again...

theres a little slot it slides into then the allen heads come in from diffrent square openings see if the service manual shows it?

I went to the hardware store, got a couple of cap bolts and washers. Ground the washers down so they would fit inside the openings and got it to work. Thanks for all your input...
