Default Correct Bolt Kit

I am looking for the correct bolt kit for all fenders for a late 30 or 31. I believe these don't have markings on the heads and the right finish. Which vender is the best source. Or do I have to buy them locally and grind the ends. Any help would be great. Thanks Don

That's the easiest and the cheapest.

www.mantiquesresto.com is a choice

www.fordscript.com Roy Nacewicz is another choice.

www.modelastore.com Bert's in Denver is a third

Will Cronkrite (www.mantiquesresto.com) is probably your best bet for buying restored original fasteners. The best repro kits probably come from Roy Nacewicz (www.fordbolts.com)

^ One thing Mike left out was " fastest " ^

If you choose to grind the heads of hardware store bolts, you should probably know it'll look -Nothing At All- like an original bolt head ... which features a unique texture and draw marks from the stamping process.
The original fender hardware was cadmium plated, but if that's not the level of restoration you're aiming for then grinding & spray paint will certainly please the average spectator.

Thank you Guys for all your input. I just got of the phone with Will and he is going to help me out. Don PS I agree with Craig ,grinding would have been a pain in the A** and timely.

Don you're absolutely right.
My 31 came with mostly cad plated hardware around the fenders, but studying the Standard Hardware Guide this morning it appears this was mostly a 28-29 feature.
I'm not sure why I assumed they were correct, but glad to have it pointed out now as opposed to later...

Sorry about the missinformation.
