I just got back from searching for 1/16" brass or copper rods/wire/NAILS... you get the picture.

Nada-zip-nothing I even scoured the picture frame shops looking for brass nails that would be close, nothing...

At the moment I'm pounding my head on the table trying to think of anything I can take apart to make pivot pins and washers. I know I can get the washers on line but have not seen a source for the rod or tubing. Any of our regular rebuilders have a reliable source they would like to share
