Hello Everyone
Do any of you have originals for sale/trade? I'd like to get the 3/4"-16thdx4" ( Safety chain to draw bar bracket) screw and castle nut. And the 3/4"-16thdx3 3/8" (Support bracket to draw bar bracket pivot bolt) screw and castle nut. Either or ideally both if possible please? I'm also interested in any of the other trailer screws and castle/hex nuts. Have willys/gpw original bolts for trade. Or happy to buy.
regards Nick

Re: Original Screws/Bolts/nuts
Nick,
If the military hardware is like the civilian Bantam T-3C, those bolts have an unusually tall hex head - completely different from what you find at a hardware store.
I took my buggered bolts into a machine shop and asked what they could do. I ended up with two new bolts turned from 1" hex stock, complete with cotter pin holes drilled.
If no one has spares they're willing to let go, I'd suggest this. I suspect after painting it would be hard to tell the difference.

Thanks for suggesting that. It's an option if I don't find originals
