330GT Door stop strap ?
by Lowell » Sat Oct 26, 2013 6:53 pm
Kerry has been examining my 330GT Series II with his microscopic eye.
My car has bolts that attach the door stop straps to the body as shown in the photo.
Kerry thinks that this should not be a bolt but rather a clevis pin with no washers, just a cotter key.
I would appreciate it if a couple of 330GT II owners could look at their cars and post a short email to confirm Kerry's assessment.
I would also like to know what type of finish is on this pin.
ACE hardware has clevis pins, but their heads have a very narrow shoulder, and I would not be comfortable using them without an additional washer.
They are also zinc or whatever cheap bolts are finished with.
Anyone know of a better source of the proper pin?
CAN ANYONE RESPOND???

Greetings... Mine has a nut and bolt but not a lock nut. I'll take a closer look tomorrow because I think there might be a cotter pin keeping the nut in place.

So is it a nut & bolt, or is Kerry correct?
