need help finding bolts!!!

I am looking for a bolt that is approx. 1/2" or 3/8" long x 1/4-20 thread but the head looks like a rivit. I want to know what they are called and where to buy them

 

Lag or deck or bumper bolts? with a square shoulder under the cap, right?

 

Arn't those called anchor bolts or something, go to your local ACE they have those things.

 

I mean carriage bolt, thats what i think they are called.

 

Any Home Depot or Lowes will have them....

 

no, no square shoulder they are not carrage bolts , i have herd them called huck bolts. that bare metal rpu called the a-bomber has them all over it

Rogue did a bare metal rpu a couple years ago,using bolts like you describe.

He called them "locker bolts",used to bolt storage lockers together.


Unfortunately,his supply got depleted,and the source dried up.

Those are called ****on Head Bolts. Click on the above link.

 

it sounds as tho you are looking for a security fastner either a hex or square hole with a small dowel type in center. You live in CA so check for a fastenal fastener wharehouse as said before www.mcmaster.com is good

 

i'll second the "locker bolt" name, don't know if that official though.

the ones he is looking for are not ****on head or security bolts, they have nothing on the head but a smooth dome, and are serrated under the head to grip the piece you are bolting to keep from turning.

 

Did you check the length on those ?
Definately too long for the original question.

 

Huck bolts are made to attach sheet metal to sheet metal, buy the length you need................

 

Sounds to me like your basic 12-2 Alpha, Delta Charlie!

 

****on Head Cap Screws

 

Good luck. 10/32 locker bolts.....................................
