62 Trunk Latch bolt head marks??

[Anthony P.]

The JM Page 18 states that the 3 latch bolts generally had a small "U" symbol on the head.

I was wondering if bolts with an "E" or an ("R" in a circle) have been seen on a late 62?

Thoughts?

Also, any idea who would sell the correct bolts? I have checked with CC, Paragon, Zip, and they do not have those with a "U"

Thanks,

Tony

Tony,

My '62 has the original bolts and they have an "R" in a circle. It is a June 13 car.

Thanks Bill,


On my car (May 31 built) I have 2 with the "E" and 1 with the "R" in a circle. Otherwise they look identical to each other.

My early 62 (Nov 61 build) has a "U" inside of concentric circles, I've owned car for 40 years so I think they're original. I needed a pair of these for my hood support and looked for a long time with no luck. Rich
