if someone can give me thread sizes for the following hardware, if I can sneak out of work early today I may stop by Grainger and pick up some hardware... (they're the only place I can find castle nuts)
Early C-K hood to hood hinge (I think 3/8" UNC?) Tie rod ends (I think 1/2" UNF?) End of tapered axle (have no idea)
thanks,
nate
The axle nuts are 7/8" 14's. Don't know about the others.

Hood hinge nuts are indeed 3/8-16.
Tie rod end nuts. 1/2-20 castle nuts. I have chrome ones in stock for $1.00 ea.
dammit Jerry...
all right, if you're not already on the road, if you can grab a handful I could use a half dozen...

I used to stop by industrial liquidators, surplus stores, overstock places, whatever you want to call them and load up on whatever seemed might be of possible future use.
I would get SS hardware of top grade by weight (handfull) for what a new, cheap Chinese one would cost at a hardware store.
Same with electrical/electronic components - relays, switches, thermal switches, heating cardridges, etc..
Go to a few industrial auctions and get the names of the bidders and see if they re-sell.
Poorly phrased, but you get the idea.
