Help with some Performer Gen 1 parts

[sacedric]

Good afternoon, and wow....what an awesome forum. Just found this Club and happy to be a new member.
I have a Performer Gen 1 that I am in the process of giving a good clean up to. Over the years, the cross bars at the base of the cart rusted away from the legs. It looks like there used to be some sort of captive bolt in the cross bars that just rusted up. Does anyone know if these were separate parts or was there a bracket installed in the cross bar?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

These are star nuts, you can get them at most hardware stores..

Thanks so much. Searched 3 local hardware stores, one specialty fastener store and one or 2 big box stores.......eventually, gave some money to large online retail establishment. So lets hold thumbs. Cheers

I think someone mentioned bike shops often carry them.
