'63 Valiant V200 wagon - rare bolt issue

Jeff, not only was I mistaken about the bolt, I was imprecise in my response!



I meant to say, the link was to a 7/16 bolt, not the 7/32 that I needed. Mea culpa.

That's a good point about self-tapping screws; even if I could get a 7/32 one, I don't think that's a solution. I'm going to try tapping 1/4-20 from the inside - again - before I give up and drill/tap from the cargo side of the tailgate.
I bet you at least know how to spell lose. Not like me loose. LOL Do it once and do it the best way possible. I repair equipment all day everyday so I try and help with repairs when I can. Dont give up...the quick and easy path leads to the dark side! LOL
