Building Darla (Red Hornet)...

[GTs58]

So...where do I get some headbadge screws for this bike? I tried the True Value hardware store and couldn't find something to work in three rows of nuts, bolts, screws and specialty fasteners.

It's a #2 or 3 round head sheet metal screw. Metacortex posted the specs here some where, so maybe do a search for Schwinn head badge screw and his id.

Well, the guy helping me looked at it and just didn't come up with something among the entire Hillman set. He has been there more than 35 years and is trying to retire...I've known him since I was a teenager and he has found a lot of parts for me, even electronics related stuff Radio Shack didn't carry.

If I saved them I lost them. I'm trying to remember the combination after four months too.

Nothing but spacing and no Metacortex even though I specifically entered his ID.

I just want the screws.

Your bike is looking great. It just takes a while for a project to come together. You'll get there

The washer is leaking, I'm on my last pair of briefs and mother would have me committed.

The cat would also object

Mom and I went to the laundromat at least...I'm gonna have to wait for the washer. The dryer works great so I took the clothes home wet. She got me a couple loaves of bread and a small watermelon as wel as we found a new three pack of briefs in my size at the thrift store, of all things. I was afraid that if I tried to use the washer again the leakage wouldn't be small this time, and I've had that happen before. Now I can make it until next Sunday when my brother in law has the day off.

Now if I can pick my own bike lock...
