I have a hardware problem ...

When we've been too busy to get to work on the trailer, we've been amassing some amazing hardware.

From top to bottom, L to R
1. Porthole from 1954? Chris Craft - will go over window in entry doors.

This is what they looked like:

2. Portholes for trolley top windows - are covers from light fixtures. New, old stock.

These will go similar to where the upper portholes are in this other teardrop:

3: Hinges for entry doors - originally intended for iceboxes, new.

4. Latches for entry doors - marine door latch, new.

5. Galley Cabinet Hinges - new, old stock, Amerock from the 50's:

6. Escucheon for cabinet latch, new.

 


7. Running and brake lights, old.

8: Drawer handles. Old.

Not pictured:

Chris Craft Button Labels, might use these instead of the oval escutcheons.

8" Torpedo Cleats - handles for barn doors in the back. Old. Debating returning them, as the chrome is more worn than I would like.

By barn doors, this is what I mean (this is not our design - just showing it so you get the idea):

Oval porthole for front wall of teardrop - this isn't the exact one, but it's close.

Still need to get:

Olive knuckle hinges for the back barn doors: Thanks Chris at Builders Hardware for his help!!!

Deadbolt lock, this one is ideal for our thin doors:

Rub strakes for decoration:

And a multitude of other hardware. Including drawer slides, hatch lock/latch for back doors, hurricane hinge for galley hatch, and lots of other fun stuff.
