I am getting ready to put my doors back on my project. While I have both IIa and III hinges, I decided to go with the IIa hinges that "stand proud". I am having trouble finding the bolts that are used to fasten these to the bulkhead. Our host has the screws that work with the III hinge, but I did not see the IIa hinge bolts listed. I took one of my old III hinge screws to fastenal to get bolts with a similar length and thread count and they did not have it, but gave me the measurements, which were M8X1.0X40. I then ordered some bolts on line, but it appears they were off on the thread count (not to mention that the bolts i ordered showed full threads in the photo, but came with a large shoulder that would probably not have worked anyway.) As I am using the IIa front end, i thought the old style hinges would look best, plus they allow the doors to open all the way back against the fender.
Does anyone know where to get the proper bolts or the proper dimensions??? the catalog shows that the captive nut on the bulkhead is the same for IIa and III. I have already painted and rebuilt the hinges, so would like to use them.
thanks for any help
