Well, that was fast. There is only one left and it has a missing bolt. The bolt
appears to be 1/2"
Whitworth 12tpi. It will have to be tapped to 9/16" unless you can find a
Whitworth bolt someplace.
I was going to tap it myself, but I don't have a 9/16" tap, and Sears doesn't
carry them it coarse
for some reason. Maybe I'll look around for a tap if no one wants it with a
missing bolt.
