From the rusty hardware parts department of WTF

I have a dust pan for this stuff. I had a big plastic tub full of non certed aircraft hardware. The companys management went thru everybodies tool box and rounded up "scrounge" as we all called it. Had a big plastic tub full of everything from rivets, to screws, cotter pins, you name it hardware wise, it was there. Even a lavatory dump handle lol. I asked them if I could buy it, and it will never come back on site. $40 and that 40 lbs of mixed **** was mine. Then the process of dumping it out and sorting it out began. I bought plastic gladware tubs with snap lids and it took almost a week of evenings to sort it out. For small stuff, this is my go to magic bolt box. I will never have to buy a cotter pin as long as I live. I have hundreds of stainless steel ones about the right size for suspension and wheel bearing work. I am probably going to get some cheapo screw top plastic containers from walmart for this mess so I can sort it.
A buddy was in the aircraft industry, he brought home what was time x’d.or obsolete. Gave me a screen for a fuel inlet. Fit my fuel pickup perfectly. hes got hundreds of pounds of hardware.
