Hello, everyone. Is there a listing, preferably with pics, of the various screws and bolts for the timbers in a TD. I received some replies to an earlier post which proved very helpful for the body panels, engine etc. but I can't find any listings online for the various screws and bolts used to assemble the timbers and mount them.
Thanks to all,
Sal

For the screws I used countersunk stainless steel types with a Posidrive head. Not original, but they should last for ever and will never be seen. You have to drill a pilot hole in every case. There are no bolts wood to wood that I can recall, only to the chassis and the bulkhead. Glue seems a bad idea as the whole thing is meant to be able to flex.

The screws vary by application. If you want a full proper kit I can help. x2 stainless smileys with beer

but in the US posidrive stainless flat head aren't going to be easy to find...posidrive anything isn't easy to find. Brass would be at least as good. Galvanized at least.
