Hi
I'm looking for a coach bolt where the square section runs the full
length of the unthreaded bit.
Any suggestions of suppliers that might have such a thing?
I doubt anyone makes anything like that as a standard item. You would
probably need to get a machine shop make you one (or more0 specially.

I did suspect as much.
I had an idea for making it myself - what do you think about this?
Procure some square section bar the right size and run a die over each
end. I realise this will result in only the four corners being threaded -
do you think this could work?
I could then put a nylock nut on each side...
It doesn't take any load then?
Why not drill through it and put a cotter pin and some washers on?
If you need it to look neater drill through a cap nut and put the cotter pin
through that.
