[woodysrods]

Does any one have a list if the fasteners or a schematic for the bolting together and the installation of a 1951 Bullet nose to grill?

This page from the shop manual, if it helps. Your fastener list would be in the chassis parts catalog.

If Brad's picture doesn't work, I have a complete '51 bullet hanging on the wall that I could disassemble for pictures.

Thanks Mathew
From Brads picture I can see there are some clips.
Need a close up picture of these.
and screw sizes.
Bullet to grill must be studs by the sounds of it

If Matthew can supply a picture of the clips, they are part # 293798, easily fabricated.
There are three screws 1/4"-20x9/16".
The body painted ring is secured with a speed nut and bolt 10-24x5/8".
Don't know the length of the studs but they take 1/4" nuts, washers and locks.

I think I have an NOS set of those clips.

Let me know if you want measurements, but those clips should be pretty easy to make.

Mr. Woods,

The clips on my '51 were fabricated from 1/16" thick sheet metal. They're pretty easy to fabricate and adjust (especially for the grill). I warn you though that it is a bit of a booger to get the grill on as you have to support the clip from behind with a finger on your off hand. To make it easier, have a second person help support the grill while you tighten the top two screws.

While in South Bend, I went to Studebaker International to inquire about those clips. They sold me a package of four for $20.00.
Upon my return home I found the "Three" clips that I needed on my workbench. Just where I left them when I took my bullet apart.
Thanks again for the help.

I do that all the time. Something goes missing, I buy another and think "where should I put this?" Think of the perfect spot and bingo, that's where I put the first thing.
