Doesn't that sort of work the same way that socks disappear in washing
machines and dryers?
I find myself short of screws most times but I keep track of the one of a
kind starter bolts, tranny bolts, engine mount bolts, oil screen drain
bolt and alternator pivot bolts.
However after wrecking out a few 80-83 Vanagons I can normally come up
with the needed fasteners except the ones I always buy new like exhaust
nuts, crossover pipe nuts, rod nuts and head bolt nuts/washers.
What would you recommend that I build from my surplus stock?
I've got all the running gear for the rear, the motor, sheet metal,
injector system, alternator, tranny, drive axles but I'm short on a body
that deserves them.
