Hello,
Does anyone have any idea where I can get about 50 small specialty bolts
(about an inch and a half long) cast in metal? Just "blanks" I can thread
them. A zinc alloy would be ok, they are not under a large stress.

Please also e-mail me with any suggestions

Thank you!
Jim


Hum...not really enough information, although, if you really
mean "cast" perhaps you also mean "NO" stress. Also, how about
an idea of how big "small" is?
One thing you could do, for example, is pick up some 1/4x20
bolts that are about 3" long. Since these days, they only thread
about an inch of the stock, that would leave you with a nice, 2"
bolt blank. You can also find smaller bolts of the same length...

What kind of bolts (type, size and thread) do you need?

And mentioned M5 threading. For replacement dashboard components.

Seems to me the way to get these would not be to cast them but rather to buy
carriage bolts and turn the heads down to the taper required.

they come up with this striped stuff.
