Where can I buy a small quantity of BRASS Carriage Bolts?
I need 14 BRASS Carriage Bolts, 1/4" diameter, 1.5 in long, with brass
nuts. These are for an outdoor patio bench. Steel will rust, so I want brass (which is what the bench originally had). The local hardware stores dont carry brass bolts. Anyone know anywhere that will sell a small amount of them? I'm sure they are costly, so I dont want to buy a whole case of them. I need 14 of each, but will probably buy 20 of them. If I cant find brass, I'd opt for stainless steel, but they are not available locally either. |

Just one example... over $ 2. per bolt ! 64 cents per nut ? Huh. I hope I'm resading that wrong. http://tinyurl.com/h4e3nkc .... and why wouldn't Fastenal's web page provide a link to the 1/4 20 brass nut that goes with this ? instead of stainless ..

Stronger, would be about the same price. Where would a person find carriage bolts & nuts, or other fasteners, made of solid bronze ? not bronze coloured finish John T. |

If I cant find brass, I'd opt for stainless steel, but they are not available locally either. I have 3 places within 3 miles of my house. Ace Hardware, Home Depot, and Lowe's all have large fastener aisles. They have zinc, stainless, and brass. Of course, the stainless and brass cost more but I am impressed by their large selection. |

There are like aisles in True Value Hardware stores. Also Tractor Supply Co stores and a Rocky Mtn states chain, Murdoch's Ranch & Home Supply. nb |

Where would a person find carriage bolts & nuts, or other fasteners, made of solid bronze ? not bronze coloured finish John T. Pretty much any place that specializes in fasteners. Here's one. Hex head is cheaper. https://www.boltdepot.com/Carriage_b...olts.aspx?nv=l Thanks - ... so "silicon bronze" will normally refer to solid material ? as opposed to "bronze finish" or somesuch wording which commonly refers to the colour of the coating.

John T. Right. "Bronze finish" means (afaik) electroplated. Just like "galvanized" has come to mean electroplated with zinc which isn't even CLOSE to galvanizing by dipping in molten zinc. BTW, there are numerous bronzes - just as there are numerous stainless steels - but the only ones we are likely to encounter are silicon bronze and manganese bronze. |

Duh . http://tinyurl.com/jca6n7g John T 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. |

You could probably shorten some bronze toilet base bolts for that. The head is sort of like a carriage bolt. Lowes and Home Depot should have stainless steel and galvanized choices, both of which are probably suitable for your project. |
