Wow! Just beautiful. You gotta be proud of that. Now it looks as good as it runs eh!

Page 3 of the Kanter Packard Parts List has the Red Hex Bumper Bolt 2.001 @ $59 each. (Yikes!)

P.S. Having never dealt with a hex head and a square shoulder bolt, when I first set them into the bumper guards I thought I had two that were wrong as they would not seat properly, turning them 90 degrees allowed them to properly align in the hex pocket and my blood pressure to return to its somewhat lower state!

Except for the Alternator, everything in this photo should be correct per the PI Engine Judging Guide.

Dezi, thanks for that. I fixed your link.

If you have a loooooooong link, it's better to use the LINK button vs pasting it directly. Otherwise, it causes weird display issues.

Ulrich's listing is an option if no one repops them or has cleaner ones. I need at least 3 of them.

This winter I took everything off the front of the engine for freshening up paint, gaskets, rebuilt water pump etc.
Some questions about what should be grey and what should be black:
Vibration damper pulley: grey
PS pulley at crankshaft: Black
PS pump bracket: grey
Generator bracket: Black
Timing pointer?

Slowly cleaning and painting parts, and trying to do things as correct as possible.

Hey Kev,

I came across a red hex bolt on Ebay last night. Looks like John Ulrich has it.

Thanks, Bob, thats helpful and was inline with what I was thinking.

I faced the same thing, but found that discarding the bottom piece and running the new channel the entire length of the rear vent channel worked great. Door windows wind up and down smoothly with no gaps. There is an adjustment on the one arm of the window glass riser to dial in that feature to make them parallel to the front channel.

For the window division channel,” Rubber the right way “will send you some free samples, you just have to pay for shipping. Check them out, helpful fellows

Well, why I am awaiting further clarification on that, the mailman arrived.

Those two hubcaps I bought from FB Marketplace came in. These are very decent ones for what I paid for them. I just need to find at least one more, preferably two.

Also, some shiny parts from the Dallas Zone Office arrived. Thank you to the Master Partsman there.

Which begs the next question, does anyone reproduce or have a stash of the red hex bumper bolts?
