A while back someone was asking about where to get those threaded screws that look like rivets that Rouge used on the interior tinwork on his awesome RPU. I was wondering, too. I searched to see if anyone found the answer and didn't see it. Anyway, I was looking here today and found these: http://www.restorationstuff.com/Catalog/RSC Catalog 2005 in pdf.pdf see page 19 (Adobe page 21). Not exactly the same, but they might work pretty well. (I found that source when reading another thread here on the HAMB -- someone recommended it for RAJA sparkplug terminals.)
That place has many things that are cool to use... Thumb screw band clamps (like Rolf used on his fuel lines) Hood springs (for that racey look) Cloth covered wire, etc. Rich
I too looked through their catalog and found a ton of old time stuff. Lots of stuff of interest to HAMBers!! regards, DJ
Are you talking about Rivscrews, by any chance? http://www.avdel.textron.com/index.htm?products/speed/rivscrew.htm Chris
It won't? I call that a problem! Do you have Acrobat reader installed, or is it installed and not working? Sometimes I need to download a PDF file first, then open it to get it to work. Try that. It is a catalog I'd call worth the trouble. Neat old style parts that one could use for period correct extra touches on yer car. regards, DJ
'29Murray Tub - THANKS!! This is one of the coolest catalogs I have ever seen. It's got even better looking old stuff than "Grannies Gone Wild"!! Too many ideas flying around in my head now...
You could use a lock washer, or use a rubber mallet (or rubber tipped object) to press against the head during tightning (I'd use a battery operated drill with a socket on the other end to give it that impact wrench type tightning). Just an idea...
The one that I have seen have four little diamond shaped wedges under the head that dig into the surface and keep the head from turning.
Thanks, but I just passed it along. The original recommendation for that catalog came from Bruce Lancaster in this thread: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=128971&highlight=raja .
I did download it and it says "Windows connot open this file." No, I dont have Acrobat reader installed. I guess it's to much trouble for them too just post pics of their products on their site.
A carriage bolt has a square shoulder at the top of the bolt shank under the head, usually used for thicker materials or wood. For thin sheet metal a carriage bolts head would stick up off the surface because of the square shoulder under the head.
