Good points Chris.
Safety is always a top concern when it comes to putting a vehicle on the road. I do evaluate all my fasteners when I’m doing the rebuild. Anything questionable is replaced. In the case of these boss head (domed countersunk bolts) there is many of them and they have all been in great condition. When I rebuilt the CMP I found one of the steering knuckle bearing cap screws had a split down the length. It likely had been that way from almost new. Had it caused a problem? Probably not however it was replaced. One interesting bit I’ve found on this vehicle is that Hamilton Bridge seems to have used the oversized or heavy nuts on pretty much everything.
