Where can I get...

[BigCatDaddy]

some replacement coil bolts and wingnuts? Checked at the local Ace and nothing like it. Anybody found any local without having to order from a dealer of Tesoro. Reason I ask is I stripped the one on my Tejon, pulled the one off my DeLeon and the head promptly popped off of it when tighening (and I ain't that strong).

Check the plumbing dept. at Home depot if you have one in your area, they usually have a pretty good assortment of nylon fasteners.

I couldnt find any plastic to replace mine. So I went with stainless. I've heard two camps on this. One was that it is ok...no big deal. The other camp says that even if you arent getting a beep from that metal sitting there, it is still creating a field disturbance. My Cortes came with a stainless screw and wingnut. The Tejon's was plastic. Not sure why Tesoro would put stainless on one and plastic on the other. Here is what mine Panteras' looks like...

I e-mailed Tesoro and Heidi is sending me some replacements. Will use the stainless steel ones until they arrive and will check out Homey D for some nylon ones as well. I can't tell that the SS ones affect the performance on either rig, but would rather use the nylon/plastic ones, just in case.
