I just finished repairing the cowl on my 68 FB. I was so nervous about doing this (never welded anything important before), I forgot to keep track of the fasteners for the windshield wiper motor and arms. Does anyone know the specs for these? Thanks and sorry for the bone head question to start off here.

No, it's an excellent question. If no one answers tonight, I'll look it up tomorrow.

To avoid this, I use Ziplock Freezer Storage Bags, and a Sharpie pen when taking parts off.

Ziplocks

The really bad part is I did that for almost everything else - export brace bolts and shock tower nuts, everything but these.

I know how you feel. I got the car disassembled and I have been spending countless hours figuring out what bolt goes where. And worse than that I am discovering that there are parts from 2 cars in the mix. So all those little brackets may not even go to this car. I think I may need to get that little book.
