9/16 X 18 tpi bolt?
 

Would a 9/16 X 18 tpi X 3" long steel bolt or cap screw be
considered a generic item? Generic enough that I could walk into a
Lowes or Home Dept or Ace hardware, and expect it to be in stock?

If not, what type store would have this? I only need 2 or 3 of 'em.

No, not any more.

Check your phonebook to see if a Fastenal dealer is in your area and as Iggy
mentioned, McMaster Carr. UPS on that is most likey 5 bucks and you can
burn that driving around. Just went through that routine looking for 5-40
machine screws. Ended up ordering from McMaster.

9/16 - 12 is the standard national coarse SAE thread.
9/16 - 18 is the standard national fine SAE thread.

They should both be readily available at any good auto parts or
hardware store.

I've quit bothering with the hardware store. Need five things, they have
four. Mcmaster has it all. Order by 5:30 and its all here by 10 the next
morning. AND, I GET A NEW CATALOG every year.

Many hardware/lumber supply companys are stocking a full line of
hardware including metric and sae bolts and allen head cap screws.
There is one near me that I use from time to time. They have O
rings,and also threaded rod, and a bunch of other stuff. I think lowes
has a similar setup.

How the hell do some people rate? I had to beg and plead for
someone's "old" copy of #108. Don't need a new one every year, but
every three or four would be nice.

Although it is a standard SAE or UNF size and thread, it is not a real
high-volume diameter and is not carried by many consumer type hardware
outlets. Many carry nothing larger than 1/2" and both 7/16" and 9/16" are
often missing from their lines.

I got some shorter 9/16-18s from Fastenal.
You may have to buy 25 of them. Too bad you need 3" or I'd send
you a couple of the left-overs I have. They were only about 1 1/2" long
and I only needed 2.
Have you tried MSC?
Our farm supply stores carry 5/8 and 3/4 coarse thread bolts, but
9/16, no.

Heck, I don't _need_ a catalog - I've got the whole store at my fingertips:
