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... Regards Dave Mundt |

Metal Casting Question
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 |

Tim 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. -- Roger Shoaf About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then they come up with this striped stuff. |
