So the old joke goes something like this; you repair something on your car/truck, and when you are done you have a bunch of hardware left over, despite being "finished". I'm in the very last few pages of the plans and find that I have a ton of hardware left in inventory from all the kits. Throughout the years as I have been building, I always thought that somewhere later in the plans that the remaining hardware would be used; that I just hadn't gotten there yet.
Nope.
I see now that I'm going to have a bunch of unused hardware (not just rivets, nuts, and bolts, but odd things like hoses and specialty hardware) leftover. Could this simply be the difference between conventional and tricycle gear kits? That it is cheaper for Vans to make one set of hardware to ship for both styles? I'm curious if others who are close to finishing the build, or have finished, found themselves in the same situation. I am highly confident that I did not miss or skip anything during construction.
