Fastener question

[Collin]

In my parts bags labeled "grill/hood" I found two large flat head screwdriver style bolts. These bolts have threads that appear to be for adjusting something... I'm convinced they aren't a part of this car, my father thinks otherwise.... Anyone know?

Post a pic please and let's see if any of us recognize it.

Hood bumpers without the rubber?

Headlight adjusters?

Really need to see a pic.

Off hand I don't think they belong

 

[quikbird]

I have never seen one of those.

 

[Basketcase]

nope...not for a '69 runner.

 

[Big John]

Nothing I've ever seen on a Roadrunner.

Possibly furniture related.

would not surprise me if someone just grabbed something handy to cobble on your car at some point. ALWAYS find weird stuff some previous owner did once get into the car. part of the fun experience!

Those are commonly used in Ohio to cobble stuff :acme:

 

[quikbird]

Yep, we northern folks have all of those long winters of boredom to think up new uses for stuff. Of course some amount of liquid creativity might also be involved.

 

[Basketcase]

yup...grab a handful of those from the bin at IKEA and toss'm in old cars just to mess with the next owner....usually angry old white guys living in the desert....

You get creative when the cabin fever sets in :yesnod:

 

[Roadcuda]

Isn't that the screw that holds the vacuum line to the tran... well maybe not, never mind!
