Fellow Listers,
I have a new boot floor installed in my BJ7 in restoration. Three questions:
1 There are (2) 5/16 bolts projecting downward on the right side, fore and
aft, aligned with the inside face of the main frame member (which I assume are
for the cross-over exhaust which my BJ7 never had) - Should these be removed
for authenticity or would they have been there on a BJ7 build Sept 4-5, 1962
and left there un-used?
2 What color should the nut, lockwasher and D-washer for the 2 bolts
securing the fuel tank straps be along the rear lip of the boot floor assuming
that the bolts are gloss black as they are part of the straps?
3 What is the most effective way to remove dings and restore the finish on
the cast aluminum SU Carb bodies so they look "original and authentic" and not
"prettified"?
