Nutz and boltz...

[71ZZZZZ]

OK deeply into the reassembly now and this is where the collective will really help. I have a box of bolts/screw/lock washers and little by little they're going back on the car but not necessary exactly where they came from. I don't have detailed pictures for these. The parts CD pictures can only show location, the detail is too low res. Can anyone describe or show me a picture in your gallery of the following:

1. Headlight bucket mounting lock washer/washer. I think the nut is an M5 pitch .8
   
2. Fender mounting bolts/washers.
   
3. Hood bumper/screws that sit in the channel of the fender.
   
4. Headlight assembly mounting screws/lock washers.
   
5. Turnsignal panels, they attach to the bottom of the headlight bucket with clips and screws, and front of fender with bolts
   

I have several washers that are flat on one "edge" do you know where they are used. There will be more but this list will get me started, I want to make sure the front end is put back together tight.

Thanks as always.

The washers with the flat edge are for the edge of the fender just inside the engine compartment. IIRC the flat edge goes to the fender "channel" and the rounded part is on the up side. Don't recall the thread pitch, but they are installed with the 10mm wrench/socket. Again, this is from memory.

The headlight bucket, meaning the "acorn" (or medieval helmet looking part) gets mounted with a rubber gasket on it's edge then a flat, and a lock washer before the nut.

The Hood Bumper fasteners are Phillips screws.

Turn Signal panels all are 10mm wrench bolts and nuts.

The Fender mounting bolts are 12mm on the underside of the fender, and 10mm on the engine compartment side, and 2 large Phillips screws up underneath the cowl.

This is all from memory.

You da man E...really appreciate your input. Gonna post in the inner fender seal thread of my experience with that joy...BTW can the headlamp bucket, fender be removed w/o removing the hood? The fender didn't seem that heavy so I think I can handle it myself...(I have to make some adjustments now that I see how it's all put together...)

The parts that are throwing me are the mounting screws or bolts that connect the fiberglass headlight bucket to the turnsignal panels...there's a screw and clip assembly there now but I don't remember if that's stock...thanks.

Again, IIRC there is a clip that goes on the lower edge of the turn signal panel, on the inside, for a bolt that comes in from above and holds the scoop to the turn signal panel.

Additionally, there are a couple of sliding captive nuts on the turn signal panel that go behind the scoop to finish that edge.

There is also a pair of bolt/nut combinations on the lower edge of the TS panel to bolt to the center valance. That gets held to the body with the two winged mounting tabs on it.

I'll see if I can find some pictures.

OK, I have the fender/headlight bolts/nuts all sorted out. I need a confirmation on the bolts/washers that fasten the headlight buckets from the inside of the nose of the hood where the hinge is. I don't have enough clearance to close the hood with a flat and lock washer on the bolt...thanks.

[71ZZZZZ]

OK, I'm really confused now, the parts CD and one figure in the Service Manual show a bolt/lock washer/washer fastening the bucket from the inside by the hinge, but a closeup pic show a hex bolt with a flange...anyone have a pic of theirs? These are fiberglass buckets so I don't want to overtighten them...
