I’ve got to get my order in to Jamestown Suppliers right away, but also wanted to confirm with folks here…
The Sailfish kit original instructions don’t say what length bronze ring shank nails, but I’ve measured what I’m pulling out and it looks like they are 7/8”. I’m ordering
Silicon Bronze Threaded Annular Ring Nails
#14 x 7/8 inch - 680/lb
Instructions show 1 1/4 bronze screws and 1 1/2 bronze screws, on my sides I don’t really need to replace them, but the ones that are there are flathead slotted, but I don’t know what “#” to order? @signalcharlie can you point me in the right direction? These things are CRAZY expensive. I know I don’t need 100 of them, so I might try to source them elsewhere, but just don’t know the gauge. #6? #8? Something else?
