I called Fastenal today. The local store did not have the brass carriage
bolts at their store, but could get them from another store in 3 to 4
days. But could not get 1.5 inch, but could get 2 inch. (that would
work). Then they told me the price. $3.87 for EACH bolt. $0.29 for each
nut. Total price for 15 of each, $62.40 PLUS SHIPPING, (or I can pick
them up at the store).

I didn't even ask the shipping price, I just said that's too expensive,
I'm not interested. I hung up the phone.

ACTUALLY, THAT'S FRIKKING ROBBERY !!!

I went to a nearby larger city. True Value hardware had 1.5" x 1/4"
carriage bolts in Stainless Steel for $0.79 each, the nuts were 18 cents
each. I really did not need 15 of them, since several of the old ones
are fine. I bought what I really needed and one spare one. Total cost,
about $8.


Brass would have been nice. I'm pleased you
got your project without spending all that
huge pile of money. And, thanks for the
follow up. Some times I wonder if folks are
doing OK.
