Lloyd sez:

" Those look like sled runner bolts. They can be fabricated from ordinary
carriage bolts by forging the head in a shaped hardy-hole. You needn't
cast new ones."

Lloyd, please elaborate a little on "forging" and "hardy-hole". You are
talking about heating the head beyond red and hammering it into a hole (die)
of the desired shape - no?

I need to either make some small metal bolts myself or have them cast.
Does
anyone know of a cheap way to do it my self, with green sand? or RTV? or
know of a place that could do it?

Here's a pic of what I need to make, the bolt on the left. It's cast is
some sort of white metal, maybe some brass content.
