Many early TT (and lots of later) ones were put together with what was on hand at the local hardware store..

Except for some commercial fish boats , boating was illegal in that era so a knowledge base did not exist , and cost was always a factor.

Up grading with silicon bronze bolts , etc, is what most owners have done over the past 20-40 years.
