So I'm in the midst of the full monty restoration. I can't help but laugh at what some consider as a full restoration. Removing trim, body parts, and such I've noticed that whoever was the one did the previous restoration did so without concern over matching fasteners. Now bare in mind I'm not trying to duplicate the fasteners cosmetics, as much as the size of the fasteners. On one trim piece I have 3 different size fasteners which I know are not the original size or length.

With that said I'm trying to see if anyone has a list of the fasteners used (not just a part number), but the size, type, and length, so that I can at least have fasteners that all match. I have all the parts and shop manuals there are, so I would think that this would be something someone else put together. Any help would be appreciated, even if it is incomplete.

Go to John Sims's Healey6 site here: https://healey6.com/technical.htm Scroll down to "Miscellaneous" you'll find a number of PDFs describing how to decipher the BMC codes. If you have the factory parts manual, look up the parts # of the fastener you want and use the pages on Healey6 to decipher the correct size, thread, finish, etc.
 
Thanks Rick, but I already found where someone did a excel file with all the part numbers, quantity, type, length and diameters. It has the formulas built in to decipher the part numbers. It's for a 67 BJ8, but close enough for me. Similar to the one on healey6.com, but different.
