Help with 26 roadster body bolts/turtle deckk

Post by BRADLOWERY » Thu Oct 16, 2025 9:13 pm

I’m wondering if anyone has the turtle deck bolts to mount to the seat back and the roadster body. I have a few, they are mushroom head, slotted with large square nuts. The ones in the sear back are in cage nuts and are a bit longer. I don’t know if anyone reproduces them, haven’t seen. You make reach me here or call me 330-858-2880

Sure, these are the boots that attach the turtle deck to the body. They have mushrooms slotted heads, lock washer, and square nuts. I can’t find the only turtle deck to seat back boot I had. It is identical in diameter and head, only 1/4 inch longer. Coarse thread, unsure on thread count. Hope this will jog some memories!

Looks like a conventional round head screw, slotted head, course thread. Available at a hardware store.
