Here's a resized picture. I think the bracket should be phosphate & oil finish. The screw should be bare metal. Nut is zinc plated.

Often you can find the "screw" and nut reversed on 70's. Allot of the unrrestored pictures I have have them that way. Also the hex headed "screw" head were also used that year. Might be the first year for those but have not done a full look at all 70's since they would all used similar hardware since they shared the supplier most likely. Sorry I didn't find any more examples in my quick search. Too many PS equipped cars  :(


Don't forget your engine ID aluminum tag  ;)

Now on the hunt for that hex headed screw.
