Correct Stepdown (49) Bumper Bolts?

Unknown

I get my bumpers back from the plater this week. When I got the car all of the bumper bolts were incorrect and I need order the right ones. I am sure other folks might need to have this info, so using page 190 from Restorations Specialties catalog as the source, can someone tell identify which of these bolts to order to make a complete and correct set for front and rear? They list a "small oval hudson" bolt towards the bottom, but do not indicate a year.....



At any rate, I dont have any in my hands to order from, so as always your input would be appreciated.

The oval bolts listed in the Restoration Specialties for hudson are correct. I know that these are the correct ones for a 49. The only problem I had was that they were too long, so I had to cut them to the right lenght.



You will need only 4 of these oval bolts two for the front bumper and two for the rear bumper ends.

Dennis, as a rule older model stepdowns got the oval head and the newer ones used the round head. There really is not a hard and fast rule. Expect to pay around $5-6. per bolt. make sure you get the right shank length. Older Hudsons{pre stepdowns} used a shorter shank oval bolt for bumpers. The description

they use to describe small oval head Hudson would likely be the ones you want.
