I'm about to order the bolts to hold down my latch tray. I know from is thread:

http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,18978.0.html

that they should be 1/4-20 with a loose washer and a 7/16 head...

My question is what length should they be?  I'm planning on ordering them from R/T specialties...

If somebody could point out which ones to order that would be great :icon_smile_big:

I rememeber them being less than a inch maybe.They had the captured washer with the anchor logo on the top.It might be mentioned in this link on daytona details

I thought Badalson had a latch tray fastener set that he sold?  It's been a while since I went through his catalog stuff though.  Might be worth checking out, just in case my vague recollection turns out not to be too far off base...   :P

Auveco fasteners are no where near OE correct

Really makes no difference in length if the head is correct.Its all under the latch tray anyway,you can't see them.If you can find a Wesco distributor,you can buy a box of 50 #. 735 loose washer,correct length for around $7.00

Hey 62, Do they have the correct head? I looked all over the internet and couldn't find a wesco distributor in my area. Any web sites ? Thanks Ken

I found a cheap source for these bolts. They are NOT OEM correct, so I wouldn't use them on an original wing car,(Purists BEWARE) but since my car is a clone, and I'm a tight-ass and R/T specialties wants a buck a bolt, I've been looking around....

I found something REAL close here: http://www.fastenal.com/

It's a 1/4-20 with a captive 3/4" washer, 7/16th head, 7/8" long with a "dog" point on the end...black....close enough for me..

They have a store here locally that just opened up a while ago.

Went in, checked them out...

$13 bucks for a box of 50  :2thumbs:

Yes they are AUVECO brand, not "correct" but close enough for us Cloners... :coolgleamA:

I think it was 62 Max told us about Westco co fasteners.I never used them or know there prices

Well - Disco has the bolts as shown above with the captive washer around the same diameter as the head. Doc has a way larger diameter washer. I can measure the both and post sizes, head markings if you want.
