Don't know 'bout you all but in my neck of the woods I couldn't afford the
time to go looking for the things, if I knew my local dealer could get 'em
for me - not at $2 ea. This is where the dealerships shine - they will
deliver, gratis, any inky-dinky little part practically anywhere. 'Course
you might have to convince your local garage to order 'em for you if you're
miles from anywhere...

Subject: pop-top carriage bolts

I am in the process of restoring an abused '83 westy. I recently thouroughly
cleaned and polished the pop-top. The top now looks great with the exception
of the very rusted bolt heads. I looked everywhere for replacements, but was
only able to find them at the VW dealer for an alarming $2 - $4 each. Does
anyone know of another source for these metric bolts?

Thanks,
