In a past post, William showed that same screw part number 9419380 was also used on the steering column covers. Detail 11 on page 132 of the AIM. That left speculation as to the size of the washer used on the top bolt.

Assumptions were made as to the size of the washer based on the casting flash of the shroud. That is why three different bolts made the trip to the nationals. I would have to look to see what bolt went through the judging with no deduction. I was cleaning up some old parts and just found the bag with the others screws a couple weeks ago.

Dave,

Do you have a picture of the top screw holding the fan shroud? Lots of discussion about that before the 2014 Nationals. Two of us going through legends judging, had different extra screws in our pockets depending on what the judges wanted to see.

Here is a picture of the vent screw. I don't have a picture stored from the restoration in 2012, as I only documented items that were different from the original hardware. Pretty sure in this case I installed the new screw supplied with the vent.

On my recent 4C Z10 restoration, the new vent screw supplied was black.

Here are pictures of the screws from my 05A Z/28. 100% that these were the original screws. Picture on the right is the repop seal and supplied screws.

R12 has been on the endangered species list with the EPA for well over 20 years. I think you would be safe to assume it has 134 oil in it.

My 5A Z/28 had 87 written on top of the heater box and this written on the gas tank.

Is there anything on your broadcast sheet that references the 57?

Digging through old pictures of my 05A Z/28 with 28,000 miles and found these to share. Original shoe markings and painted hold downs. Spring colors are red, blue, green, and pink. Date code on the auto adjuster of 093 was on both sides. Inside the backing plate and all the hardware was bare metal.

Norwood 05A Z/28 28,000 miles. I didn't find any white paint. As I remember there was only orange on one rotor. One rotor had balancing holes drilled that aren't shown in this picture so I can not say if that was the rotor with the paint.

I picked up my copy from Brad last night. He was pretty tired after driving back from the show. Very nicely put together book with even some pictures of my car in there.

I mentioned some people are looking for his contact info, I am sure he will be reaching out soon.
