So we know that the notchback and fastback use similar bolts, but of different lengths. Does anybody know what that difference in length is? Does anybody have one of each bolt that they'd care to lie next to each other, measure and photograph (if possible)? I've misplaced my fastback bolts and finding a set in decent shape that I'm okay with paying the asking price is looking grim. I'm considering finding notchie bolts and welding in extensions instead.

Have you asked in the Mall? It seems there should be some sitting around somewhere. Some GTs are still turning up in yards.

Nope. But every time I see a set, they want like $50 or so for them. Not really willing to pay that. It would kind of be nice to know the difference anyhow, if anybody has one of each to compare.

Here you go:



The bottom line is that I don't think the notchie screws can be converted very easily because it's not just the length of the smaller diameter that's different: the larger diameter shank is also longer on the fastback version.
