Author	Topic:   Hatch Compartment Lid Special Fasteners or Barrel Nuts
Tom C	posted 05-17-2014 12:26 PM ET (US)         The storage compartment on my 1988 15 SS has three hinges on the door. Two holes of the hinges use wood screws and the other two use a machine screw that screws into a reciever that is threaded in the center but is smooth on the outside so it can be recessed. Don't know what these are called but I need four of them. The wood is .80" thick. Does anyone have any they would like to sell or know where they can be purchased. West Marine does not have them.
