foot ramp

[TMcNam4510@aol.com]

Now that the engine is out of TC 2850 I can plainly see that the foot ramp is bolted on with an assortment of 1/2 inch hardware. Some go in, some go out. I can see that a couple hold the radiator stays and there are nuts welded onto the ramp to hold the bolts. What size and length should the bolts be and what is the proper color? I did not find the information in Mike sherrils book, but perhaps I missed it? Also, same question for the firewall, (scuttle), bolts. Mike says they are correct in black, but is this true for a gray scuttle? Thanks, Tom TC 2850. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Tom, go to the TABC web site and check the technology files. There is a comprehensive listing of TC body bolts there. As for the color of the firewall to tub bolts, I think black is correct for the early deep fluted firewalls and on the later shallow fluted firewall, they were painted body color along with the firewall.
