hardware question

[kylegreen229]

Putting this 170B back together is harder than I thought. Get caught up on the simplest tasks. Parts manual shows something will take a bolt and nut, then I go looking for this said bolt and nut. Just looking for a bit of guidance on putting this back together. You guys just start with a big bag of nuts and bolts or start with all brand new hardware?

About ready to attach the horizontal, vertical etc.

I'll be going thru this in a few years:)

My plan is to buy new hardware.
I think it will be a time and stress saver instead of trying to rummage thru old bolts to find the right one.


This is where a digital copy of the parts catalog (not just an image scan PDF) would be nice.
I could write a simple script to come up with shopping lists for each assembly.
Instead, I need to hand type all the numbers :/

I took my PDF copy and ran it through the OCR software at work. So now it's text searchable. Would that help?

If you have a full version off Acrobat, you can make the PDF searchable by having it read the file (OCR). I've done this for all my IPCs. It's pretty good but not perfect.

It would. Thanks!
