Ford Blitz Restoration/Rebuild

[Private_collector]

Can't get the slot head screws anywhere local. This is the third time I have wanted slots and not been able to get them. There was even one occasion when I waited for two weeks while the shop checked suppliers and advised that there were none in stock with their wholesalers. Interestingly, at that time, I got on the internet and bought them myself from a company in Brisbane (total of 2hrs away). They shipped them straight to me within a few days. Then forgot to send the nuts with the order and I had to wait for those too.

I am now making do with what can be sourced easily and when I want it. That would have been a big deal for me some time ago, but now i'm more interested in making progress than having annoying delays because I wanted absolute originality. There are a number of things that will never be exact...........the bolts & screws are just two examples of the many!

Incidentally, the wipers will be blasted & painted green, at least.
