B) anyone know where I can get some for 3/8' threaded stock?

Ask anyone who builds or handles really big and heavy items,
- Shipyard.
- Strip mining equipment supplier.
- Tank repair shop.
- Mobile crane factory.
- Ship gun factory.
where they buy their spares.


Seems kind of odd that pyotr didn't just write 4.5" instead
of 3/8'.


Zero carries it, well, the smaller stuff. I've bought 6' sticks of
allthread in 1/4, 5/16, and 3/8". $5 shipping, free with $50
purchase. Check both the eBay and the Zero sites, as prices vary.

Need it today? HomeDepot usually has 1' and 3' lengths.


Thanks, I will check that out "soon."
