Some very good advise has been passed on in this thread, so I'll keep my comments to a minimum.
I have found that the average novice rebuilder makes the mistake that he can buy new replacement nuts, bolts. washers and misc hardware items therefore the fastener's get discarded. Wrong! I save, and bag every piece, only discarding same when the project is complete.
Good intentions are like arm pits, everybody has them. Garages, backyards and wrecking yards are full of miss-guided dreams.
