Thanks and a Couple More ??

[Mark Stolzenburg]

I want to thank the several list members that responded to my "assembly questions" awhile back. The responses were extremely helpful and have helped figuring out this jig-saw puzzle often referred to as a basket case TC. Here's a couple more questions/requests. 1. Does anybody know where I can find (or does anybody have some I can buy) the screws and nuts that attach the hood latches to the hood panels? These are a machine screw with a full round head (with a Whitworth thread) about 1/2 inches long. The nuts are the thick Whitworth size nuts. I have 4 of each and need 4 more of each. 2. Does anybody know where I could purchase (or have one I could purchase) the screw or pin that mounts the gas cap to the tank? Apparently it is a flat head or round headed screw. Thanks, Mark Stolzenburg Stolzy40@peoplepc.com PS. Badger, if you have the above items, don't put them on ebay. I refuse to buy screws at an auction!!

Mark: You can get the bress machine screw and nuts from Abindon Spares. The part number is 41-056B. While some of us use chrome machine screws, myself included, the original was brass. I used a stainless cotter pin although a stainless or brass nut and machine screw would probably be original. A good hardware store should have them. Probably 4-40 or 2-56 would be the correct size. They won't be whitworth, but nobody will ever know. Ken TC 4147 Mark Stolzenburg wrote:

Brown & Gammons sells the rivet for the fuel tank cap & release clip. Part no. 500139, 0.18 ea. Also, I have seen them in the Anglo Parts catalog, out of Belgium. John Seim Irvine, CA
