Thought I'd post my new pick up. And show it as it transforms from crap to a wonderful seat. Seat from polo grounds with two NY figurals, which are rare. You normally see them with only 1.

I already ordered all new vintage wood to replace the bad ones. And have a piece of metal for the top soon to be welded on.

Update. Got the broken piece back and it's now repaired with the top bracket.

Next set is to get the paint removed and powder coated orange.

Anyone know where to find these type of carriage bolts. It's a 1/4 size bolt but with a large head. I can only find ones with small heads on them. One dealer has them for sale but at $3.00 per bolt.

How many do you need? $3 each is kinda ridiculous.....but isn't this a several thousand dollar seat?

10 of them, so it would be $30. But if he has them, they have to be out there somewhere. But lowes, Home Depot, seats have none close to it.

Forget lowes, home depot, etc.

Try fastenal.com

I'm not sure where you are in MA, but they have five stores in the Boston area. If not fastenal, there should be other stores in your area that sell nothing but nuts, bolts, screws and all other manner of fasteners.
