[Spridgets] Early preparations for the Wild West OSHIT...

[Rick Fisk]

Soda blast the carb bits.  Get some 5/16"x24 bolts and nuts.  Get a bunch of single and double wire connectors.  Most of the old ones on your car are probably junk.  :-)

I'm putting an alternator on in place of the generator (dynamo) and I have a nice set of Daniel's silicone hoses.  I have a complete set of the good brake lines and fittings from Peter C who also provided many other small parts.

What about fastener selections?  I have a ton of 1/4 x28 nuts and bolts (again - thanks, Frank!), any other sizes that its worth buying in bulk?  Anything I should order from Peter or possibly from the UK?
