Repro wheel well and carriage bolt fitment
As I was taking apart my blazer I had a hard time removing the wheel wells because the carriage bolts would just spin... The wheel wells were new installed by the previous owner and he used 5/16x3/4 carriage bolts which I believe are correct and the square holes in the wheel wells don't appear to be wallowed out. So I was wondering if the carriage bolts should have been 3/8" or if the holes in the repro wheel wells are just oversized?

Re: Repro wheel well and carriage bolt fitment
IIRC 5/16" is correct. It is very easy to round out the square holes. I had to weld a strip of metal across mine (welded several at a time) to keep from rounding out the holes.

That is a great idea I will have to remember that next time.
