Good thread here, and not much that I disagree with. BTW, I am the guy who posted looking for the "dot" bolts........and I am probably somewhere in the middle as far as "correct" police.
I for the most part, attempt to use original parts, or "correct" replacements wherever I can. I also use clothbraided wire on my spark plugs for the F-20 and F-12. AND, my current 12 volt conversions get put back to 6 volt.
Now, I grew up on a farm, and used a lot of finish nails for cotter pins, and bailing wire (how many here are old enough to remenber that) in place of bolts/clamps.
I personallly like the challenge of making one of my toys as close as possible to how it came from the factory......because the chase for the parts is actually fun to me. AND YES, I do have some grade 5 and grade 8 bolts with fresh paint on them!!!!
But, you are right, there are people who take it waaaaaaay too far. Mine is for the fun of it, and the tidbit of pride saying "this is orginial". The beauty here is everyone can make their own deicision, and be "right".
How many people here took the time to put the wire and lead crimp back on their govenor assembly after they rebuilt it? 8)

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
