    Can someone help identify these lug bolts?

    I am having trouble identifying these lug bolts.

    The first picture shows a smooth head with hex inside. there is a line around the bottom of the head just above where the taper starts. The threads are 3/8-20. The
    bottom extends about a quarter inch below the threads.

    The second picture shows a hew head 9/16. The threads are 3/8-24.

    Any and all help would be appreciated. Eileenlug nut a.JPGhexlugnut1.JPG

      Actually it is 1936 thru 1939. Used first on the 1936 61 and on all models thru 1939 with the stepped hub.

        I believe the bolt in the 2nd picture is Indian. It looks like the brake drum bolts in my '40 Chief.

          Chris,

          Wouldn't the '36 lug bolts be drilled also? And thereafter un-drilled, but with the line near the taper?

            I have four different examples of those bolts. Holes, no holes, groove at top, and groove at the bottom. When were they used? Can't tell from factory photos.
