70 cuda trunk lock rod cover, what size bolts to use?
« on: September 04, 2006 - 12:43:18 PM »
On my 70 'cuda the trunk lock rod cover was missing and I just got a hole of one. What size bolts should I use? As I have to special order bolt in inches in Norway, as we use cm.

It's not screws as there are bolt hole in the right taillight for it. And on the rod that goes over the filler neck/holds the trunk locking mechanism. I think this is a 70 only ting....

I looked it up in my 70 manual, because my memory is slipping.  :clueless:

Anyways they were screws.
