Default Socketless Cap Screws

Yes, socket*less* cap screws. As in no hole to insert a hex key, but other wise

the same shape and height as the head on a socket head cap screw. Roughly 5/16"

to 3/8" X short, standard or metric, course or fine thread, grade, material

unimportant. Does have to be metal... Thought about ordering shoulder bolts and

cutting the head off. May end up going this route but looking for a less

expensive and labor intensive solution since I may need as many as 50.



Could possibly live with an acorn head if it lacked wrench flats, but prefer

the cylindrical over bullet shape.

If you can thread the hole it goes into you could thread some rod, stop and leave part unthreaded (the 'head'), screw it until the unthreaded portion jams to hold it in place.
