Snapped two bolts in half that mount body to chassis, front of car, bottom of heater channels through front fire wall into captive nuts. Does any one know the correct size? I'll need to purchase 2 for my 55.

Should be 10mm x 1.5mm thread diameter and pitch. Seem to recall they are about 2" long. Only threaded for half that length. Did you chase captive nut threads with a tap first to clean them out?

I'm in the process of having my vent window frames chrome plated. My frames have the short stem on frames like the ones below...

What is the correct way to remove the hardware from the stem without breaking anything? Getting chromed next week along with some other parts so your feedback is very much appreciated. Cool I searched the forums but did not find answer..
