I need some of the special bolts and rectangular washers that hold the fan shrouds on the 580 and 700 motors. The bolts are 1/4-20 by 1/2" length and are slotted hex head. Any one have any or know where I can get them? Thanks

Frank,
Try McMaster Carr for the bolts or search for a place called the 'House of a Million Screws'

Hi Frank,
I used hack saw to cut screwdriver slots and then powdercoated them silver. Worked for me.

Thanks, guys. I was wondering what happened to all of the parts that were left over when US Motor sold all of the old 580 parts. Some one had to buy all the stuff.

Frank,
The square washers can be easily made by hand.
Heard that someone in Kentucky ended up with the old WB stock however I cannot confirm it or have contact info.
