Hola Ben,
I'm starting my awning project. The awninig track fits nicely under the roof latches. I will need to adjust the reflectors but I dont see that as an issue. I am having some difficult finding hex head zinc plated self tappers. Can you recomend a source for them? I need about 60 to complete the install. Thanks

You should find what you need there at Fastenal.

Good luck and pictures because if it takes 60 screws I want to see it.

If you can't find what you need, I probably have what you need, I'm deep in fasteners, what length? EAT MORE FISH

Part of my camper project involved refastining the entire outside of my camper, because most of the hex head screws showed rust.I used electro coated center driven screws, no corners, less corosion, and rust. So far so good, and because I live in a rain forrest, Im a real good test.

Jay,

Looks like eveyone beat me to a source for you. We buy our screws directly from American Bolt and Screw. If you just let me know what size you want, if we have them in stock, I'll send you what you need.

Just give me a call when you have time.

Thanks Y'all and Ben. Ben I need about 60 of the same screws used to put the door in. I'll give you a call this AM. Thanks again.

PS the new bed is fantastic. Tell Marty I haven't hit my head yet. Tell Jeff he needs to quiet down all that talking will tire him out.

Jay,

Had to get off my rear today and go do a job. Since I was out and about, stopped by the shop and sent your screws out. You should have them on Thursday.

OK. its freezing ass cold here but I have the awning track on with hex nuts every 4 inches. I have a track on both sides of the Hawk so we can park either way and still use the awning. Its time to start sewing. In my head I've got this thing figured out but Y'all know my head. I am going to use some of the old curtain panels that were in the bedroom when we moved in. They're supposed to be UV resistant. But at the very least I can proto type it with them. I'll post pix when I've got it done.
