Added the Willys bolt specs to my file, calculated grip in the flywheel as well as threads in the flywheel as I did for the other bolts, removed the WO-630129 number from RJFP bolt, added packaging information where available.
I think it would be better and more fair to indicate weather the supplier has purchased standard bolts and offered them as WO PN 630129 substitutes or actually is supplying bolts that came packaged and marked 630129 to him from a surplus source, Willys, Kaiser, AMC or Chrysler. As currently written you leave us with the impression the 1st bolt is a legitimate Willys produced bolt PN 630129. _________________ Wes K

Sorry Wes,
I thought somewhere in previous posts I had done so.
I ordered the bolts with the Willys part number from RJFP and
Army Jeep parts, and received bolts 1 and 3 respectively.
Walcks and Kaiser Willys responded to with their specifications
to the WO number. Midwest Military advised they only sold takeouts.
No bolts bought arrived in a Willys dated and numbered package.
Bolt 1 came in a blister pack with no markings.
Bolt 2 is a commercially available Mr Gasket product.
Bolt 3 came wrapped in brown paper, then externally in a plastic
bag, sealed with unknown numbers on it, but the WO
number was not on it.
Bolt 4 is the takeout.
Bolt 5 is Willys specification. _________________ Brian

Yes, I know all that can be found in several posts. My point was the pretty document that will be tossed back and forth by many folks in the future needs to be as accurate as you can possibly make it. I would not list the 630129 next to any bolt description without qualifying it's presence there as either the was substituted for that number by the seller or it is an original part distributed by the original manufacturer. leaving that 630129 setting there in that #1 bolt position without any qualifier sends the message it was the only Willys original bolt.
Also try to only leave one copy, preferably the latest updated copy out there for public access.
The only acceptable version of the Willys spec is the Willys drawing which has already been published.
I cannot recall all the times specifically I have published a guide document to this or another public site just to have to go back and make corrections and then update the file copy and make sure I re-published the corrected document in every location I posted it originally. _________________ Wes K
