Trying to decipher early 67 nose fiberglass to fender hardware realizing there are likely different used. For the sake of consistency Id like to stick to cars 1-100. It is bolt, washers and nut.
1. Bolt type , straight thread or leader tip like fender bolt?
2. 1/4" or 5/16"
3. washers, flats both sides? locks?
4. Nuts style, serrated whiz or conventional hex?
5. Probably most difficult, zinc or phosphate?
I have a lot of clues but will hold to prevent bias
Thank you!

Not getting a ton of feedback here (thanks Anthony!) but I did get some reports directly. Made sense to keep this open so people searching in future can get info.
Early completed in 10/66 possibly into Nov.
1/4 28 with flat washers and serrated wizz nuts, dorman head marking
1/4 20 with flat washers, locks and plain hex nuts no head marking
Nothing yet to suggest finish but the 1/4 20 seems to be consistent with inboard hardware which seems to be mostly clear zinc
