Hi Andrew,
Did you ever manage to find a solution to this problem? I have some broken
fence posts (4" x 4") which I wish to repair. I was thinking of having some
large double ended wood screws made from hexagonal bar. One end would have a
standard "clockwise" thread whilst the other would have an "anticlockwise"
thread. ( Like the thread on left hand bicycle pedals except these will be
double pointed wood screws of course). This way, the screws can be tightened
with a spanner on the hexagonal bar in the middle. Hence the posts can be
repaired without having to dismantle the fence. I need four but it will cost
less per unit if more are made. How many do you need? Does anyone else need
some?
With kind regards, John

Dowel screws. Or drill a hole in each wood end & epoxy threaded steel rod in - that way you can move it into correct position before it sets.
