4 Sp cross member to the subframe

[enio45]

I'm in the process of assembling a subframe for 69 Camaro Z28

The bolts that hold the cross member to the subframe - im told the correct bolts have a flanged head and the bolts go up thru the frame with the nuts on top of the subframe. HBC has a set of bolts that im told is incorrect...i don't know?? Also the HBC bolts have only 2 washers for 4 bolts?

Anyone have an orig car where the cross member has been removed and can tell the type of bolts, washers and nuts that are correct and the orientation?

Ed,

I could not get a good picture, I'll try again later. The bolt inserts from the bottom up, non-flanged, 3/8" course thread, has a lock washer and nut on top of X-member. Bolt is about 1" long. I'll try to measure later today.

Yes Ed,

That is what mine look like, non-flanged, grade 5. The bolts on the right side of the car get the flat washer on top of the subframe, then lock washer, then nut.

Ed,

I stand corrected. The one bolt I photographed has a flange, very thin though. More details later. I have to help Mr. Chevy move.

They do make a aftermarket long bolt kit,if that helps.

Nova and camaro should be the same... The L79 nova had all the original bolts I re-used. I can remove one and take a picture for you tonight. I am almost positive it had a flange. I even think I have some originals from another car if needed.

This is the bolt that was in my nova cross member an A on the top and 1 inch long.

I checked for bolts and I only found 3 and I have 1 that is about a ½’ longer. It could be cut down so you would have 4 PM me if interested in bolts.
