Trans mount bushing is just about non existent and being replaced. Noticed missing bolt...probably dropped in some damn pothole somewhere. I think the bolts themselves are 7/16" approx. 1.25" long (coarse thread?) by eyeballing remaining bolt. Local hardware store has tons of carriage type bolts but automotive types but not many for automotive use. Other sources for these? Think I saw vendor on ebay selling these.

HaHa Yea I know Jer......but damn who ever heard of a bolt dropping completely out. I couldn't believe it. Lowe's is a good ride away from me but guess I'll have to make the hike.
 
I have some good used bolts from some cars I parted out over the years. Let me know and I will mail them out, John.

You mean there isn't one ACE or TrueValue nearby that has a whole aisle with the pull out drawers?
Where you can buy one bolt?

Funny you should ask that..........
Yes there's a TV across the train tracks and on into town. It is LITERALLY situated in an old barn. The guy who ran/owned it kept it like a "country store" type of place....every Christmas he'd put up H/O & O trains on a big table inside the store, big ol Christmas trees with lights and presents, on Halloween he turned it into a haunted barn (but you could still buy stuff), had Thanksgiving turkey give aways, and on July 4th covered the place with American flgs top to bottom. There was ALWAYS someone nearby to help you out if you needed it, and he was ALWAYS there. He has the walls plastered with pictures of little league baseball teams he sponsored, and sold grain feed and other "farming" stuff behind the store where the train tracks ran through the woods.
Well, went in there the other day and it was completely changed. He's gone, I guess he sold the place and I don't recognize anyone in there, now the inside looks like a small version of a big box store......3 or 4 cash register isles, before there was just one big huge counter at the barn doors that you could lean on an talk with people. The train table is gone (gonna miss that), real bright lights everywhere, advertisements on the walls (where the baseball team pics were).....you get the picture. Anyways it was a shock to go in and see the place was gutted and reconfigured like that...totally wasn't expecting it. and all they had were carraige bolts and nuts...but I think they were still setting up merchandise so that might change. Guess I'm just sad to see the change knowing that it'll never be the same again.
 
There's a Advanced Auto Parts up rt. 295, but I've never known them to sell "loose" nuts and bolts.

Go to AAP, they have grade 8 nut and bolt racks in the parts department that they sell individually. Just ask them to let you look through the bins.
 
I guess I take my local auto parts for granted (napa and autovalue) both have loose nuts and bolts, weatherhead fittings, Hyd hose, etc. but my area is a farming community. and there is always the hardware store or lumberyard. good luck finding bolts
 
We are talking about bolts? this is not a high load area, even the cheap Chinese crap will be good enough. The aluminum case will break before you have to worry about the bolts. I just go down to Home Depot or NAPA.

I went in there two years ago looking for the pole caps for clothes line, the kid had no idea what I was talking about.. He had to ask the older guy, looks like a great place from the outside, I was hoping to find the place you once knew
 
We always stuffed them with aluminum foil to keep the bees, and wasps out.

That's probably because he was a kid. I usually dealt with a guy name John, ex-plumber ex-military guy or his son who worked weekends. I never had to trudge all the way out to Lowes because they didn't know. Which I loved because I hate to have to drive to deptford Lowes. For some reason the area of deptford where Lowes is at is always congested.
