I have a Barn Find Piper Cherokee 180 that I am putting back together for a Static Display only. I'm looking for some used parts (at this time some Bolts). Does anyone have the main landing gear bolts (top and bottom, 8 total) that i could buy. Or a good contact or website to find some. Thanks in Advance.

Since it’s for display only and using certified hardware won’t matter, I’d find the specification for the bolt and get the right size from the hardware store.
 
Just document, that you installed none approved parts, and you might go ahead and de airworthy it with the FAA. Like surrender its airworthiness certificate.
 
If there is any possibility of the aircraft somehow returning to flying

condition a placard or tags in the vicinity would be a good move.

There are actually 10 bolts involved but there should be no need

to have them all installed.

The bolts are 1/4 inch diameter. Using cheap hardware should be fine for

a static display. Not using self locking nuts may save using “ special words”.

Socket head may help too.
 
Id like to see what a barn find looks like
