I agree with Tom, I'm partial to original...but ask the customer (if the machines are spoken for).  There are plenty of folks out there that couldn't care less if it's white, silver, or any other color on the inner parts that can only be seen when the machine is open.  They will be showing off their machine closed and working, most likely.

If the guy will fix it at no cost and limited extra time, then I suppose it's a wash either way.

I got the bolts from McMaster Carr.  The order is not in their system anymore.  I will look at the package when I get home and get the specs for you.

This is the part number for half of the bolt. McMaster Carr.  www.mcmaster.com

93121A325  8-32 threads 1/4" length.  I did have to slightly enlarge the hole in the shelf and barrell to make it work.  I will try to post a picture when I get home.

      Thanks anyways Marvin, but there has been a change in plans.

      Ok shelves and slides will be silver. Thanks to everyone for the
input.

      All the bottle stack faceplates were originally red but I changed
them to white so I hope it's not too big a sin to change the plates behind
them from silver to white at the same time.
       
       As far as re-mounting the wheel I experimented with the sex-nut
but they fit too tight and would spin with the wheel. Also they were a
little too long and had to be ground down to fit. In addition, the cost
exceeded $10.00 per set and I have 6 sets of shelves to plate.

       After brainstorming for 3 days, I came up with a solution that any
third grade kid could have suggested.A box of 10-32 truss head screws
and some c-clips (or loc-tite) are all that are needed. I will remove all the
wheels and tap the holes to 10-32, then set these screws in place to be
coated to match and prevent rusting.

        Sometimes the most difficult problems can have the simplest
solutions  biggrin

          Profile was the biggest obstacle in this challenge. Clearance above and
below the shelf was critical to allow the largest possible diameter bottle to
roll through, without getting stuck by the wheel fastener.

I had thought of just using a bolt myself, but the height bothered me also.  I went with the binding post because it looked more original and was lower.

I could not get a pic last night.  I will try to get one tonight for you all to see.

    Have been dissatisfied with long term results of zink plating shelves. Old customers have
come back with terrible rust and oxidation on shelves I had plated.
