Body bolts for 27 Touring

Post by Brent Mize » Fri Dec 03, 2021 5:45 pm

Hi guys,
My painter misplaced my body bolts for my 27 touring. :(
I’ve searched in vain and cannot determine what size they were.
I’ve used Bruce McCalley’s hardware list and but I still can’t seem to locate the size, thread pitch and nut size.
I been through all of the catalogs too. No luck. Perhaps I’m missing something somewhere. :roll:
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Brent

They are 7/16-20, and I believe they are 3 different lengths, front 25/32" center 1" and rear 1-9/16". And if I remember correctly the nut is 11/16" and the bolt head is 9/16".

Maybe just using wrong terminology;

Brent, are you looking for the body MOUNTING bolts? If so, and you can wait just a bit, these have finally come up to the top on my fasteners project list, now that the rear axle housing bolts/nuts are finished. I have sent the factory drawings to my "small run" automatic screw machine shop (owned by a cousin) and am awaiting their quote on full sets of these bolts. They do top quality work and make many of the fasteners I supply.

Rv,
Yes, the body mounting bolts for the 27 touring. I’m looking at Spring 2022, so if you could have them by that time, I’d like a set.
Just let me know.
Thanks so much!
Brent!

R V, a friend of mine exhausted all sources look for a set of body bolts for a 1916 Touring.

He will buy a set if you get some of those!

Keep me posted.
