Title: Heater box to cowl bolt
Post by: sparky65 on March 11, 2011, 08:14:57 PM: What type of bolt holds the heater box to the cowl? I seem to have lost mine somewhere and I wonder if it could be one of the ones in my miscellaneous bolt collection.
This would be for a 67. Don't know if other years are different.

Interesting - never seen a red clip there on the western cars.

I've seen it on maybe 3-4 NJ 68s. Not sure why it would be red as Its not a safety thing but could be like the window molding clips.
