Body hold down bolts
« on: September 20, 2015, 11:06:54 PM »
Hi all...I'm a newbee and the questions are just starting...my car is a 52 corsair deluxe
The floor area in front of the front seat for both driver and passenger had been replaced by the previous owner. Unfortunately, he didn't drill and re-install the body hold down bolts. I need the 2 bolts, but I don't know what to ask for because the parts book has no description of the body bolts other than a reference number. There are 14 bolts of 3 types according to the parts book. Does anyone know the particulars about these bolts and which go where? Does anyone have a picture of the front floor where the 2 bolts go? Is the floor dimpled? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Shel

Shel, I don't have any photos myself and for all of the Henry J work I've done, I have not removed a body from the frame.  That being said, Mike H, who runs the www.henryjcars.com  website did one a few years ago and it's well documented with pictures.

This will provide you with some good info.  Also AZ_HJ is doing one as well and can likely provide some good info.
