I believe those are the exact screws I used. Where did you get the two stainless “rails” for the flip up table?

Same place as the z-metal for the tables.

Cool! Mine were still in okay shape. Some minor bubbling from rust so I don’t expect them to last forever. I will contact him and see his price. It might be worth it to get them. I do want this grill to last a long time. Thanks!

I heard he isn't on Craigslist at the moment. Do you know? I messaged him today about putting in an order and haven't heard back yet.

I took a look on Craigslist and didn't see his add. Makes me nervous. Makes me want to stock up if I get ahold of him again.

I have only contacted him on eBay. His username is rcplanebuyer. He was active as of last week

His contact through eBay is more expensive. Because eBay needs profits also

He definitely prefers to do his business through Craigslist.

I prefer it also. Hopefully I hear back from him.

I'm sure you will.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

Just kind of got me thinking. What if he decides to stop selling all that stuff. Maybe I should stock up a bit.

Since you have so many that you want to restore that might not be a bad idea. You should also inventory how many good original ones you have.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

Absolutely

 

[Steve Hoch]

Absolutely

I think on my next Genesis 1000 restoration I'm going to get RCplanebuyer Zbars and table brackets powder coated black for a more original look.

Good for him, I think that's the way to go. Those parts just don't survive here so new ones are almost always a must

Those are the powder coated ones? Absolutely first class and beautiful!

Yes. I agree they do look good. I bet especially with a darker wood.

With any wood really since that's how the Zbars are supposed to look like anyway. I've done the stainless steel Zbars before but I'm even getting harder on myself as far as looking more original goes.
