Washers	Carriage Bolts	Miscellaneous Hardware Items

Nuts: Metal, Nylon, Rubber, etc:

	White Nylon Cap Nuts: 19¢ ea Part# HWR1 These 5/16" white nylon cap nuts are used on top of playfield posts to hold plastics (or "light shields") in place. Commonly used on Bally and Williams pinballs from late 1970's through mid 1980's. (Can be used on other makes/models, and on newer/older games, too.) Restore your game to original condition! Replace your old yellowed, cracked, scratched, brittle, stripped-out, or missing cap nuts with these brand new bright white replacements! Will also replace rubber post caps that some games used- and last longer!
	White Rubber Post Caps: 29¢ ea Part# RINWCAP White rubber cap used on top of playfield posts to hold plastics in place. Often used on Bally and Williams pinballs from late 1970's through mid 1980's. (Can be used on other makes/models, and on newer/older games, too.) Replace your old yellowed, cracked, dried-up, or missing rubber post caps with these brand new bright white replacements!
	Metal Acorn Nuts: 25¢ ea Genuine Replacements for Gottlieb, Atari, and more! Part# HWR8 Here's a hard-to-find item! Genuine original "PAL" brand acorn cap nuts. These cap nuts are used on top of playfield posts and moving playfield gates on most Gottlieb games, vintage Bally games, and even some Atari, Allied Liesure, and Fascination Int'l games, too. Their most common use is on top of playfield posts to hold plastics (or "light shields") in place. Gottlieb used these acorn nuts exclusively on their games for decades, and only these replacements will work on these games! We've acquired a limited supply of these that can be used to restore your game to original condition! Replace your old rusty, bent, scratched, damaged, or missing acorn nuts with these brand new replacements! INSTALLATION NOTE: Old used acorn nuts are pretty easy to take off and put on, but brand new ones are usually a bit stubborn. We suggest installation with a 5/16" shallow socket driver wrench which helps apply downward pressure while turning the nut. These nuts are self-threading and often need some extra effort to get them to "bite" and thread onto the metal stud when they are brand new.
	#6 Nylock Nuts: $1.00 per bag (12 pcs) Part# HWR2SET Brand new #6 size (#6-32) nylock nuts as used for holding down playfield plastics, and securing pop bumper brackets, rings, and other coil mounting bracket parts under-playfield. Takes 5/16" socket or wrench. Most common size for use on most games. Bright shiny chrome finish with bright white nylon insert. Make your game look brand new again with new hardware!
	#8 Nylock Nuts: $1.00 per bag (12 pcs) Part# HWR3SET Same as above, but one size larger- brand new #8 size (#8-32) nylock nuts as used for holding down some playfield plastics, wireform ramps, and bumper posts secured under the playfield. Takes 11/32" socket or wrench. Commonly used on most later-model games. Bright shiny chrome finish with bright white nylon insert.
	#6-32 Hex Nut: $1.00 per bag (12 pcs) Part# HWR7 #6 hex screws. Use with #6-32 machine screw above. Can be used on flipper bushings, coil brackets, and many other parts in most games. Keep a few on hand for quick repairs!

Commonly used to hold down playfield hardware (on top and bottom side of playfield) including lamp sockets, coil brackets, flipper baseplates, playfield plastics, wireform ramps, and most other hardware. Correct replacement for original parts with NO slot in the head. Great replacement for phillips or standard-head screws in older games, too!

	1/4 Inch Oversize Hex Head Screws: $1.00 per bag (12 pcs) Part# HWR4 Oversize 1/4-inch hex head screws (1/2-inch long wood screw thread) as used on most late-model Bally & Williams games from mid 1990's on up.

Correct replacement for original parts with NO slot in the head. Great replacement for phillips or standard-head screws in older games, too!

Also used on metal ramps in plunger lane, etc. Replace those stripped, dull, or dirt-filled screw heads with these brand new bright shiny plated screws- give your game, and it's ramps, that brand new look again!
	#6-32 x 3/8" Machine Screw: $1.00 per bag (12 pcs) Part# HWR6 #6 machine screws, 32 threads per inch, 3/8 inch length.

These look great, are 100% correct for restoration- and are a great finishing touch to the reconditioning of your classic game (they make handy spares, too!)
	Pop Bumper Cap Screws: $1.00 per bag (12 pcs) Part# HWR9 Used to secure bumper cap to top of pop bumper on most modern/late-model pinball games.

This set of 12 pcs. will do two flipper bushings (3 nuts/screws per bushing). Nuts are often missing on most games, and occasionally screws can be stripped or broken off, or missing as well.
