where to find fasteners for hide-a-trunk
 

I just recently got a hide a trunk off of ebay. It came with the bolts
that attach the trunk to the tub, but no nuts for the tub.

I called the local dealer, and he couldn't find a part # for me.
Can anybody help me on this one?

thanks, matt

Matt - I got mine at the local hardware store. You know those displays
with al the hardware in plastic drawers? They were in there. They have
a name but it escapes me at the moment. What your looking for is a
little rubber plug that looks like a top hat. At the "top" of the top
hat is a nut. You stick the plug into the hole in the tub, then when
you put the bolt in, it threads through the nut, pulls it back, which
expands the rubber so that it doesn't pull back out of the hole.
Hope that explanation helps. I think I have some extras in the garage
- email me if you need a picture of one. I know I ended up buy a
couple different sizes because I wasn't sure what fit. They were only
a couple cents each.

Anchor? Sort of like an anchor you would use in your wall for a heavy
picture? (obviously not a hard plastic one, just the same style of
operation)
