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. Lee |

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. Wes |

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. -- ______________________________ Keep the whole world singing . . . .

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. Karl |

Don't need a new one every year, but every three or four would be nice. -- Bruce -- |

Lee 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. Don Young |

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. Pete Stanaitis ------------------------------ Don Young wrote: wrote in message ups.com...

Heck, I don't _need_ a catalog - I've got the whole store at my fingertips: http://www.mcmaster.com. Speaking of bolts, http://www.mcmaster.com/nav/enter.asp?pagenum=3064 Hope This Helps! Rich |
