wellnuts on a windjammer

 Caution: the following post is for Vetter owners and users only.
  I was looking (googling) for wellnuts to replace a few of the ones holding on my Vetter lowers and noticed that Lowes shows them in stock. Hillman A-1024 if I measured properly.  It's almost time to put them back on.

Thanks Don. Craig V. Has them on his website too, but I'd rather buy locally.

 I put the lowers back on, it's nice to have matching screws, before some were metric and the wellnut was closed on the back. I think those were original. 
 I know I'm the exception to the rule but I like the look of the Windjammer with the lowers on it.

I like it too.  And most especially the functionality.
