parts list question

[geezer]

Dan, after you order your parts, I would like to know which you were successful in obtaining and which are NLA. I will be doing the same soon.

Mike, you pointed out that in your Nov 1969 Factory Parts Catalog, PN 55417-E4100 was marked with an asterisk in the S column and that the part was not superceded at that point. This is suggesting to me that the Special D Washers were being welded on already. This is all pure speculation but it all fits the scenario where the washers were loose in the pre-production stage and welded on for assembly convenience before the production run got underway. It would take verification from cars that could be considered pre-production to know for sure. Not that it really matters, but interesting nontheless.

No problem Ron, I will be going over the list one more time to make sure I didn't miss anything.

I'm also thinking of ordering double of everything and keep my fingers crossed that most are available and and whatever is not try and get at Brofasco. I wish I could find info on the grade of the different fastners and I think I would be able to get them all from Brofasco instead of going to the dealer. Oh well, the joys of restoration.
