67 Barracuda grille hardware

[4spdragtop]

Hi all, attempting to restore 67 cuda grille, I'm thinking i will end up replacing most rivets, screws etc.
Right now looking for t-bolts, #8 machine screw thread with a square head 0.28x0.28(thereabouts) and any rivet leads.
Thanks
Steve

Might have to try a want ad for those. Strange looking critters for sure. Can you make some? A round head, truss, or pan head could be ground with flats easily.

Hi Steve,

These are available at Home Depot.

Scroll down to the pics of the bolts.

Would they work for you??

‎POWERTEC 48 in. Heavy-Duty Aluminum T-Track Specialized T Slot Track for 3/8 in. Hex Bolt and T Bolts 1/4 in.-20 and 5/16 in.-18 71379 - The Home Depot

 

[Dana67Dart]

Steve, lots of options out there. I just googled T bolt and square t bolt

Fastenall, McMaster Carr, Grainger, Amazon,

If push comes to shove I can CAD up some and have them made in Stainless or Aluminum.

Thanks Al, that's US site, different than our Canuck site. I went to HD and they didnt have anything. Kinda surprised. Checked Home Hardware/ HBC, nothing.
Specialty shop Bolts Plus is next on my list.

Thanks @Dana67Dart i saw them on Amazon, but none as small as #8 Machine thread. Smallest I saw was #8mm and I don't want metric.
Appreciate the fab offer, but I may just grind a hex head down.

Steve , I went through this a few years back and about 3 moves. I had a box of small rivits and bolts from then. I think I may still have shat crap in a box somewhere around if I can find it. I don't recall what I used for those . I see what I can find.

 

[Dana67Dart]

Steve, there are also T-nuts that you could slide in then put a stud into it.

Some locktite to keep the stud in.

Example...

That's just un-Canuck.

Is the red arrow Metal?

The stud (blue arrow) goes through the hole in the bracket?

This looks like missing material (green arrows)? if so what was there?

When u were redoing your 67 grill

67 cuda grill

I'm in the process of restoring my grill,and have the usual broken bolts. Where can you get some new ones. 1st is the ones that bolt the grill to the header. 2nd are the ones that hold the insert in the grill frame, that fit in the slot. Is there a source for these bolts?

Thanks Dana, yes the red is alum "track", yes blue is where Tbolt goes.
Track is "dimpled" at end for some reason?
Used a file to squeeze orig Tbolt out.

Hi Steve,

Might be dimpled so it can slip into headlight bezel easier??

or..

To keep the T-Bolts in place after manufacture process??

 

[4spdragtop]

I was thinking to keep T bolt in place? I'll know more once I get the other end bolt removed.

Ok steve...

get some flat stock that fits into the channel cut it to length and drill and tap a hole in it.


home made T nut!

I have one more 67 grill with those factory bolts still on them. It would take most the day to get them off without breaking them off if I got lucky.
I would do about $1000 for em !!

 

[4spdragtop]

Yep, tedious bs for sure AL! I'm looking at my orig grills and think I'll be fine cleaning them up as opposed to redoing these other ones.
Cali car, so rust free but a couple small dings in the outer alum. May have to just live with the dings.

Get them while you can.... The parts you pass up you might never see again!
