Title: leaf spring U-bolt
Post by: Stangly on February 12, 2013, 07:55:36 PM

I cleaned up my old U-bolts in some evaporust and see there was some white inspection marks across the top of the bolts.  There isn't much of it left to really see how it was applied does anybody have a picture of this.

69 Dearborn

Have seen marks on those items from 65 but haven't seen any so far on 69's

Hopefully someone else may have seen them also

Thanks for the confirmation guys, it looks pretty distinct but like I said there wasn't much of the white left.  On one it is clearly on the side the others are on the top.
