oh so confusing

Sal,
The people participating in this newsgroup cut metal for the most part. We
are helpful most of the time, but please have the common courtesy to ask the
right question, using the correct terms, because nobody here has a clue what
you are asking for.

Well, it can be something of a Catch-22: how does he know that he
doesn't know what he's asking for. To the OP, "bolt adapter" probably
seems accurate.

And I do have a clue: "adapter" and "male to female", etc suggests
(clues me) that he's looking for something that does for bolts what
plumbing adapters do for pipes. One size, male or female, in and
another size out.

I've never heard of such a thing for bolts (threaded rods), but maybe
somebody has and maybe the OP will get an answer. He's entitled to ask
- this is a public forum.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Bob, that is perceptive of you. If that is what he is after, I suggest
welding or brazing the appropriate nuts and bolts together.

I hate to be cynical or suspicious, but there may be a clue in the fact that
he has not responded to any of the posts responding in bewilderment to him.
Normally, a person who posts a real question will follow the responses
closely and interact with the respondents.

Could be. Given that he's not a regular here does make it suspicious.
But, not being a regular here could have caused him to be scared off by
the "... please have the common courtesy to ask the right question ..."
when he doesn't know the right question and could be subject to further
ridicule.

I dunno,

How "regular" must one be to be fair game for ridicule like the rest
of us? G

Thanks Mike this place should be able to help.

Could you build each of these adapters by welding a 5/8 nut to a 3/8 (or
3/16) bolt?
Long 5/8 nuts are available.
