White 3/8 Pushnut At Ace Hardware $1.49 To Replace Lost Wheel Pushnut

[captjoe06]

I'm about a month away from doing a half assed restore on my daily driver at our lobster dock, a 2008 Black OTG.   She's been serving me well but could use a little love.  I went all year long dealing with a missing hubcap which was totally unnecessary because the replacement part is really not that expensive and as it turns out available at our local hardware store for $1.49.

I've looked them up online and seen the Weber three packs for sale for around $5 and $4-$5 shipping which seems ridiculous.  I had been debating doing the restore and spending any money on it but after such a great season and falling in love with it.   It's strange how attached I've become to this grill that was given to me and not in particularly good shape (melted handle, missing hubcap, pitted legs).  But after countless cooks and seeing the results other WCK members have doing restores and also considering the salty environment of our lobster dock I'm planning to see just how pretty I can get my dock grill with a little elbow grease.

Anyway for other "Restore" noobs like me that are searching for a replacement for a missing hubcap, know that white 3/8 Pushnuts are available at Ace hardware and I'm betting at most local hardware stores.

It cost me $1.49 for the replacement pushnut.

Hope it helps someone in the future.  They aren't standard color Weber black but I think they look great anyway.

Yup..standard 3/8" caps in hw stores are white...if the color works for you..then its a few bucks cheaper than oem

For a dummy like me who would have selected the black 3/16 ones here's what the bin looks like at the hardware store-

That is good to know.  Thanks for the tip.  Ace also sells the 1'' leg caps in black and white.
