Location: Pieksamaki, Finland, Europe | I'm in the middle of assembling my Windsor back together ..some of the old bolts and nuts seem to be quite rusty and I was wondering if there is some reference or list available of the most common sizes of the bolts and nuts needed for the car.
Here in Europe everything is in metrics in local hardware stores so I should order the new bolts and nuts but It's a bit difficult task to identify which sizes and types I should get without having a possibility to try them. |

Location: NorCal | Section 18 of the factory parts book gives reference to common hardware used in the car. Compare your rusty hardware to that. |

Location: Finland | If you accept that the heads are different from the original ones you can buy from Nippelit.net. If you want to buy a whole box it is better to buy from Botnia Bolt.
Probably you already know of these Heikki. |

Location: St. Louis | I have one of these mounted in the garage, it has saved a lot of time on numerous projects. It also enabled me to organize bolts into different drawers according to size. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nut-Bolt-Thread-Checker-Wall-Mounted/383733... |
