Last week I got these 2 cans of vintage painted carriage bolts and square nuts. Some with extra large head, limited variety. There was 4 cans, I only took 2 to keep my reputation clean and not a hoarder.


I could pay a mere 16 dollars a month to have trash picked up, but its a 800 foot driveway, and I go to town at least once a week any way, can't miss taco tuesday at the mini mart, so...go visit Eric!

If these look like they would work, send me a pm, they're free.

Also, if you use modern hardware store stuff, I like to do a quick dunk in muratic acid to clean the plating to hold paint
