I'm into minutia here. Series V. I currently have unpainted stainless bolts for mounting the horn brackets. I came across a bag of hardware my dad had labeled as "series 5 horns". It looks like the bolt heads were originally painted black. The interesting part is the different bolt lengths. Two bolts are the same length - 1/2". Then there are longer, different lengths for each of the other two bolts - one is 5/8" and the other is 1".
I'm not seeing the different bolt lengths in the Parts Manual. It appears they should all be the same length - 5/8" - based on the Parts Manual.
Wondering if anyone else has found different bolt lengths used for attaching the horns / distance bracket.
I guess one of the series V oil cooler lines originally went through the horn opening left of the radiator. (My series V has been updated to have both oil cooler lines go through the horn opening right of the radiator.) The Parts Manual mentions a clip for the oil cooler line attaching to a horn bracket. Wondering if that was originally the left or right side and if it might have necessitated the need for a longer bolt.
Thanks,
Mike
