Chad,
Diameter of the bolt is the same on the entire shaft instead of tapered lik=
e a modern sheet metal screw, and threads were squared off and smooth inste=
ad of the angled with a machine bite like a sheet metal screw.
I need to clean out my garage in the next year or two and I'll post a pic w=
hen I locate these bolts. I never found a source for these, including The =
Roadster Factory or Moss Motors. Only this WW II veteran identified it--di=
dn't know where to get it or what it was called.
Have you seen an original TR6 body panel that had primer next to bare meta=
l? I don't know if it is true what the hardware store WW II employee told =
me about the Brits dipping every metal part in lacquer paint. This vet tol=
d me during WW II they had these big vats in the barns in rural England and=
all the metal fabricated parts for everything were dipped and air dried to=
prevent rust. These parts would hang there and be available for the war e=
ffort. He figured maybe after WW II ended, these vats with the lacquer pai=
nt and the malleable metal parts that could be re-pressed into what my car =
was made from.
All good since the result was the TR6.

almost 30 years of working on TR6's. Maybe that is a descriptor I am unawa=
