Found Free Silver B

That spirit table matches quite nicely! Good luck with locating the Platinum tables, Bruce is right that they are out there.

 

[Samuel]

Every time I find a Platinum it is always 3 hours away. I may consider making that trip now.

Those look like standard phillips head screws. He is something closer to the stock Weber bolts, but in stainless.

Thanks Bruce, I ordered some. I will post how they work out.

 

[Bruce]

Please do Samuel. I will probably pick some up when I make another order from Bolt Depot.

 

[Cody Bratton]

I agree with @Bruce - those look like they could be a nice subtle addition to rehabs.

 

[Samuel]

Weather is not cooperating with me, but in the meantime, I am contemplating a platinum control panel option.

 

[Steve Hoch]

Cool, looking forward to you tearing it down to start the restoration if that's what the plan is.

Cool, looking forward to you tearing it down to start the restoration if that's what the plan is.

Not yet. I am still waying my options on what I want it to look like.

 

[Samuel]

Platinum Rain!

 

[Bruce]

I like the black control panel better.

 

[Samuel]

Because my Platinum C is blacked out. I am liking the Platinum options on the Silver B.

 

[Samuel]

I am thinking when I add the stainless-steel front panel and stainless-steel handle bolts and lid end cap bolts it will really pop.

 

[Samuel]

I received the stainless-steel lid handle bolts today. The head is a snug fit, but it works. If I had to order again, I would order the bolt longer then 5/8 inches for it just barely had enough thread for the nut.

 

[Bruce]

Oh, yah, I would have thought the 5/8" is too short. Some of the end caps would require bolts at least and inch long.

 

[Samuel]

I like them very much. How about you Bruce? Do you think you will add them to your mods now. I will post a side by side with my Platinum so you can see that too, later today when the shade hits my back yard.

 

[Bruce]

Yah, I think I will be picking some up. It is just one less thing to have to deal with repainting, which I almost always forget to do when painting the rest of the grill, so invariably, it delays me many times in finishing up a grill for photos and listing.

I will have to very the exact lengths I need. There are at least two different lengths needed depending on the end caps being used.

Those could still be painted black as well with no risk of rust down the road.

 

[Samuel]

I posted a pic in post #80 of the two OEM lid handle bolts, but here it is again in case it was missed.

 

[Bruce]

I didn't realize those SS bolts were about a buck each. Dang.

 

[Samuel]

Yes they are:

 

[Bruce]

I won't be investing in those. Not worth it to me.
