Hello everyone, just started a 1976 panel project and looking for some advice on a few things. :P
THE VAN:!
I'm missing this bar seen on this photo of a late bay sliding door, does anyone have a place I can buy one/ measurements to make one myself?
Also looking for advice on where to buy a selection of nuts and bolts as the box of spares the previous guy gave me is missing a lot of small parts |

I think you could just use cordage there instead of a rod, that way you could adjust its length easily while saving a few ounces in weight.
When I go to a wrecking yard I just gather up whatever nuts and bolts I see laying around and may strip others that I think I will have a use for in down the road. Automotive bolts will in general be a pretty high quality bolt and you can get quite an assortment of lengths. several times I have been able to buy buckets full of bolts that the wrecking yard personnel have collected and only paid scrap value for them. |
