Door hinges, and latch assm had them. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 | They are original and are referenced in the Master Part Catalogs. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | ,,, another place to check for them is at Ace Hardware. My home town store never ceases to amaze me at what they pull out.... and a week ago the owner told me he would have LOTS more nuts/bolts/springs ect ect in about a month. He told me "you'd be surprised how many folks are sent here to Ace by the parts stores!! Also, if your blessed with a CArson Nut and Bolt place your even better off. There is one in Spartanburg and I go there fairly often..... if Ace doesn't have it  | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 | Harbor Freight sells a box of them for $6-7 dollars should be all you need. They are really designed as one use washers and should not be re-used if you are concerned about something coming loose. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 22 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 22 | If you cant find any I'd just set the washer on a flat surface strike it once with a baby sledge hammer or sheet metal hammer so it's flat then twist each point with a small pair of needle nose at about 45 degree angles all the same way, time consuming but effective. Or check Tractor Supply Company as well.
If the frame is Good then everything else can be fixed.
