    S3 grill fastners

    My S3 109 is missing the proper Lokut's for attaching the grille.

    Does our host carry them or is there a source for them in the US?

    Thanks,

    Um...What's a "Lokut"?

    Oh..Disregard. It's the plastic anchor that the screws thread into.

    I'm sure our hosts carry them. You can probably find suitable ones at most well-stocked local hardware stores (as opposed to the big box places), depending on your definition of "the proper Lokut".

      You could also look at a Autobody supply place, those are used in a number of applications and they usually have a wide variety in stock. (or a local body shop may let you look through their hardware drawers)

        I think the part numbers are RTC3744 (upper) and RTC3745 (lower).

          Assuming that jac04's part numbers are correct and he is usually dead on, LRSeries in the UK shows both parts in stock if RN doesn't have them.

            Looked into it a little further. Looks like the top fasteners are different for each side - don't know why.

              Funny, I noticed that on mine and thought it was some lazy hack by a PO. By the looks of it, it probably still is, but for that very reason.

                ^^I bet you also found all the parts to make those spring shackles while you were there.
