I have them. Why not see if you can get the bolt out of the cap? If it boje off the head tou may need a new cap.

Is that bolt a standard size ? Could they be replaced at say Ace Hardware ?

The thread is but the end is rounded. And how is the other one? Never seen ones that rusty.

There are two kinds, internal (socket head) and external hex. The socket head style are know to strip or break.

With plenty of heat from my welder, I got the broken screw out. The other side has the external hex, so I guess that's the type I'd prefer.

thanks,
Carl
