Some Panel Questions
Hi all,
Three questions if anybody can assist me? What size bolts and washers go through these holes on the inner wheel wells to the brace/bracket on a 66 GTO in the first 2 pics? Can somebody take some pics of your car for me from inside the wheel well please? 2nd, does the inner wheel wells sit a small amount away from the fender around the wheel arch with these mounts/bolts in the 3rd pic, so would be about a 1/2" gap due to the plastic mounts? 3rdly, does anybody have a 65-67 GTO hood without the Arrow emblem mounted so they can measure the location of the holes to be drilled in a new hood in the correct location? Some pics with dimensions on them, or a hand drawing with measurements would be great please if possible. See 4th pic. Thanks heaps for your help and advice yet again.

I can get measurements for the emblem sometime this weekend if no one else does.

For question 1, my '67 has 5/16-18 flange head pointy-end body bolts. For question 2, yes mine has the plastic between the outer and inner wheel well.

Thanks guys, appreciate that.
George can you please take a picture of the bolts from inside the wheelwell, just so I can see how big the washers are too if that's not much hassle?

I was hoping to find an answer about the hole locations by searching older posts on this forum. I found one from 2014 that addressed the question, but the images attached at that time are no longer available:
https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com...ht=hood+emblem Post #3 from Mr. Jeff Hamlin was probably just what you are looking for. Mr. Hamlin is a very knowledgeable and frequent poster in this forum. If he doesn't happen to answer in this thread, might shoot him a pm

The bolt described to secure the inner tub to the brace/bracket are commonly referred to as body bolts,
these have the washer head bolt, not a separate washer. 5/16 x 18 x 1"-1.25" seems right. The washer is approx 7/8"-1". The lower hole with the raised circle is for the rubber bumper/vibration block.

I can post pics of the correct bolts and clips for the brackets that attach the inner fenders in pic 2 of your original post. The speed nuts are unique to this bracket. I luckily got a few for my car from a guy I met on CL that has amazing original so cal parts.

Glad to assist.
FWIW; below are the offerings with hardware, available from several Parts vendors. I just can't seem to recall where I found the rubber bumpers.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
