MJ72. Not sure where you are or where you are going with your restoration process. John is correct most cadmium with a silver look. He is a great resource. Jeff is correct also you should seek experience help like the two mentioned. You need British Standard hardware with Aerotite nuts in general. I doubt Drew supplies that level of exactness, to nut and bolt buying customers, but he could. We have exchanged hardware and parts over the last several decades to complete high level. /super high level restorations. About 45 years ago I parted out 2 427 Cobras and harvested all the hardware from each, along with the rest of the removable-useable components. I could check but both were less than 10,000 miles. The quality, grade- hardness made them very resistant to corrosion. If you are considering restoring the bolts ,your car must have seen a hard life. I would rate the condition of the original bolt sets harvested at very slightly less than excellent as good or better than any bolts that I judged on concours prepped car at SAAC conventions for many years. If you want brand new bolts from the AC factory, 1968-9 I can supply those in addition. I hope you must understand your restoration hobby is going to be very expensive. A private email if interested.
