I've been slowly removing the body panels from by TR3b in preparation for 
sending to the paint and body shop with the tub.   Rusted bolts are 
everywhere, Most of the square nut cages either deteriorate while I'm trying 
to get the bolt off or the bolt simply snaps.  I've managed to get the apron, 
and front RH wing and door off.   In thinking how I am going to put it back 
together, has anyone thought of an alternative to the square nut cage and 
7/16 bolt.   I've been told that square 7/16 inch bolts are hard to come by 
at the local hardware.  I've also been advised to try stainless.  Any info 
would be helpful
