Wow, I surely didn't intend this email as a plea for a part, but sure am 
surprised and happy with the response!! Thanks to all who have replied 
with an offer of a bolt to fill my set! (maybe this is some karmic 
payback for some of the pay it forward I've done since getting Dad's 
Roadster?!?)

I have accepted the first offer but will keep everyone else in mind if 
something falls through.

Love the Roadster community!!!

PEACE :-)

Tim
