So when working on my brakes the other day (front 9" drum for a 66 I6 coupe), i noticed that my bolts through the drum assy to the spindle were dangerously worn down, to the point where the nut would slide right off the back if i tugged on it. I immediately stopped driving it, and have had a lot of trouble finding these replacement bolts!

Does anyone know where I could order replacement bolts? The mustang shop i called claimed they aren't made new anymore, and I would have to get them at a junkyard. The head on the bolt resembles a D in shape, making them hard to match.

Any help is greatly appreciated, or if anyone has extras lying around I would rather pay a forum member than a junkyard owner!

Your looking for the 4 "d" head bolts that attach the backing plate to the spindle (not the drum). Try NPD or scott Drake else trip to the boneyard is needed. If space allows a regular hex head grade 8 bolt and nut (and some lock tight)is a consideration

 

My best guess is Auto Parts Warehouse;

Good Luck!

Hawkins, that kit doesn't have bolts in it, just holdown parts and springs.

 

Just a quick-link to the 1966 Mustang - Brake Parts Catalogue provided by APW. If the part you need isnt in either of them pages, id suggest http://www.npdlink.com/or mustangplus.com

Good luck on your journey!

 

Thanks guys, I appreciate the links!

 

NPD I know does offer just bolt kits for about every bolt on the car.

 

NPD has the T-bolts, but I'd need the D-bolts since mine is a I6. No luck so far, I'm thinking about taking the grade 8 route and just shaping the head with my metal working skills.
