I'm not sure I'm using correct bolts on mine 289 05/1965 w/4speeds trans. Not sure also if they are zinc or other color. Hope you may help on both.
Thanks in advance

Did you read the entire thread? If you look in this forum's library under topic "Mustang Hardware Spreadsheets 64-66" you will find two files, one by part number (almost every hardware item on these Mustangs has one) and one by application (aka where it goes). To answer your question, the answer is "yes". Confused? Look under "TRANS,MT (in your case)" for some answers.
Pictures of those bolts show "late American rust and corrosion". Originals were "natural" steel covered in a lite oil, stored in a big container on the assembly line. To reduce future rust on mine, I prefer a dull zinc plating (vs clear zinc). I'll let those in the "rust belt areas" give you their alternatives.

Thanks for your reply...need to "STUDY" your document to really read it clearly.

I see you're located in Portugal. I'm 6,000 miles (9,700 kilometers) away, south of San Francisco. I'm glad to help.
