Me too, although I picture busting out the 40 or 50 old stumps on my high country property.For some reason I picture that being used on your Hanix. Not sure why but I picture busting up hard clay etc with it.
Bill, I was at the hardware store last week to get some hardware to hang a flag from. Two J hooks 2" long, 2 clips with swivels. Cost was just less ten $15. It must be the coating that cost? Your scrounging is valuable!!The bin store I got this from is not very big, but it started out with about a half million dollars in new auto parts: fenders, front clips, complete front end suspension parts, struts, water pumps, headlight assys, computers, bumpers, complete dashes, etc..
They have sold most of it off, but now have more clothes & household crap.
Every now and then, something good like this.
In most bin stores I frequent, people tear open the boxes, the assembly hardware falls out, and goes to the bottom of the bin.
I dig for it, and now have the largest, most diverse selection of mostly stainless hardware, metric & SAE in the area.
I have often found 10 or 15 packets of SS metric bolts, nuts washers, and some loose stuff, enough to fill a 2lb coffee can, and they sell it for $1 or $2.![]()
