Title: Locking bar shoulder rivet
Post by: Fire708 on August 20, 2012, 01:27:49 am
HELP!!!

As I was getting my v56 ready to go for paint I noticed that the prior owner had removed the two shoulder rivets that hold the locking bar to the coin door. These are the ones the bar slides up and down on.

Does anyone have any idea where I can get replacements? I've tried Hanson rivet and jay-cee sales with no luck unless I order a custom rivet. I need two not 500. I'll post Picts tomorrow once I have light for a photo.


For a much happier note, Eric has several parts he's refinishing for me. I can't wait to see them in two weeks!

Is this on a RT or ST 56?  If it is a RT, the locking bar is held to the coin door by cotter pins that slide through a couple of pin holes in the locking bar bracket.  The bar rides up and down between the coin door wall on one side and the cotter pin on the other.  Not sure if the ST has a similar assembly on the inside or not.

     Here is what you are looking for.
    I would send the door to paint and improvise hardware when it comes back.
