bolt question
 

I am looking for a 3/8"-16 bolt about 1/2" long with a smaller than normal
(9/16") head. I think they are called flange head or something like that.
Also it has to be stainless. I check mcmaster but can't find one. Thanks

Might try http://www.boltdepot.com/ You might have to mill the head to
size.

I think that you are describing automotive header bolts. They are used to
affix tubular headers to engines and have a 7/16" head and a flange. I'm
not sure about stainless but they have chrome.

These should be available at any auto parts store.

that sounds like the bolt that holds the trim tab on a OMC outboard, they
are more than 1/2 long but that can be taken care of with a dremel and a cut
off wheel. how many do you need?

I will look at them. I am going to make a gearcase drain plug that is not
prone to stripping. The one in my 250 Johnson has a 5/32" allen head.
