Genesis Platinum 1000 Restoration

I was gonna say, if he didn't, I think I can re-use mine, just wasn't sure if it'd look okay, not matching the others (SS?)

It didn't bother me, especially since those pieces are on the back of the table and can't really be seen anyway.

Got another one for ya…


This white part is pretty warped and seems like it needs to be replaced. Maybe a stupid question but, what is that??

It’s weakening causing the bolt to pull as well

 

[Bruce]

Just a pivot bushing. I would not replace it.

It's to keep the pointer from rubbing on the surrounding metal. Try not to break it.

It looks like something is bent and that's why it's pulling on that nylon spacer.

Steve, have a question for you.

I'm going to be buying the z-bars from RCplane, but, what did you do about the z-bars that connect to the swing arm? Those are a totally different shape/part, does he make those as well?

Here is a pic posted by @Josh Dekubber I believe he bought them from him.

 

[HankBates]

I have some also, very pleased. He also charges a lot less than Weber or someone else would ….

just paid the invoice from Mr. Dave and the bars should be on their way this week.

Cook box and lid end caps are on the way to the sandblaster.

All the other parts are cleaned up/prepped/ready for paint.

Going to Ace tomorrow afternoon to work on getting replacement screws/nuts/etc.

I'm assuming there isn't like a "kit" of screws/bolts/nuts for grills, right? Just sort of get the parts you need and go from there?

 

[Bruce]

Correct on the parts Alex

 

[Samuel]

Congrats on your progress Alex!

I believe the screws you will want for the slats are #8 1/2”

But here’s a link to some of the other hardware

Don't forget to repaint the lid badge.

 

[AlexPicchietti]

Is this the type of wood you guys would use for the replacement slats?

That should work.

Survived bachelor party. Back to work!

Get it back inside quick after painting or the pollen will make the finish look like sand paper.
