I'm not sure what "elevators bolts' indicates, but if
you need a long bolt, usually a nut on a length of all-thread
will do it. *When the head type matters, I've also used
splice nuts- couplings for threaded rod- with Loctite.

WOW.. I never Knew what they were called!

I had an old (1958) tent trailer with a plywood bottom that bolted to the frame
with those...
When I redid the ply, I couldn't find "flat topped carriage bolts" anywhere and
had to grind a dozen or so flat...
