65 Belvedere hood hinge bolts

[Nathan Rotz]

Can anyone tell me for sure the thread size of the hood hinge bolts? Both hood to hinge and hinge to fender. I'm wanting to buy new bolts but can't find this information anywhere and I'm out of the country for work for a while so I can't just measure the threads myself. Thanks

If they're like the '62 and they should be, they are 5/16"x 18 thread. There are two different lengths. There is one longer one on each side that has a smaller washer. (Blue Arrow)

The other two are the same as the hood to hinge bolts. (Red Arrows)

Needed the info also. Thought they were all like shorter one.

There's two different fasteners in the inner fender and another in the fender itself. I guess why they used the longer bolt there. The shorter one might work there.

I wouldn't want to risk useing a longer one in the hood to hinge bolt, might be too long, bottom out and put a dent in it.
