Hood Wing Bolts

How long should the wing bolts that secure the hood frame to the
windscreen be. I have just bought a pair of reproduction chrome plated
wing bolts to replace the home made T bolts on Glenys's TA. At 2 3/8
in. bolt length they seem over long.
Thanks
Cliff

If you bought them from Moss, the wing bolts may very well be long. I
bought a pair of Wing nuts for my TC that were inappropriately shallow.
One of the very little aggravations with repro parts.

2 3/8 in seems about right. Measurements (metric) of my windscreen wing
bolts are: - threaded portion from tip to shoulder: 44 mm; from shoulder to
"head": 1.5 mm; "spread" of wings: 40 mm.

Hood Wing Bolts

I am fitting a new hood (top) frame and I don't want to risk stripping the brass threads on the wing bolts, due to paint, machining debris etc in the tapped holes.
I can't identify the thread before getting a tap.
Anyone know the answer please?
