Elevator bolts are more akin with carriage bolts. They have the same square under the head as a carriage bolt, the head of an elevator bolt is extreamly large for the bolt diameter and very thin and flat. There is no way to drive an elevator bolt.
great for pickup bed mounting.

 

metric ones are here:

You tried giving Tacoma Screw a call? When I lived in Seattle, they were the end-all be-all for odd-ball fasteners.
I'm sure you can find their contact number online.

 

I run into alibaba often searching for stuff. Problem with looking there is your looking at manufacturing facilities overseas and buying direct from them in m***ive huge quan***ies. That one you spotted is a minimum order of 1 ton @ $8000.00 bucks a ton.

Furniture bolts barely hold that **** together. I need to bolt my Vicky door hinges on.
thanks for looking though.

 

Ahh,, my bad..
back to plan A?

 

they look like caliper slide bolts that some fords use

 

geez never needed those. good luck. lotsa help already in three hours.

 

Not yet but um going to .
My bolt supplier here local as every threaded fastener known to man, well I thought they did any way; until they laughed . Dude knew exactly What I wanted but chuckled and said "good luck Steven " as he looked over his gl***es grinning.

Where's that caddy mechanic when you need her, damn it.

 

I've known these to be called " Chicago bolts" it's a term they use down here in oz

 

These might do it. Extra low head huh?
Thanks a bunch man ill call them tomorrow.

 

We call those "*** bolts " sounds like a bad joke I know but that'd be the truth. And Chicago bolts, or mating screws, or barrel bolts but *** bolt is a heck of alot more fun to ask for if the counter chick is really cute!

 

There isn't a bolt in existance that a good machine shop can't make---after all one made the sample you are showing. I'd guess 30 bolts would pretty much use up a day so the cost would be eight times their hourly rate. The custom bolts we make for our own projects are usually socket (hex) driven if a regular hex bolt won't fit or is too ugly. A hole is plunge milled to the minor dimension of the Allen wrench that will be used and then a straight plunging tool is used in conjunction with an index table to cut the corners of the hex hole. Grade five can be worked but it's usually quicker to use softer grade and heat treat if grade eight or harder is needed. If the head is a standard size then bar stock can be bought and save machine time. I can't see any way to get around a two step operation, lathe to turn to size and thread then a mill to do the hex. I have done a down and dirty swaging operation to make a hex (or other) drive hole. Make a flat bottom hole slightly larger than the diameter of the bolt head in a thick steel plate, drill a hole to the minor drive dimension in the slightly taller than desired head, heat till it becomes plastic, drop in hole and quickly drive a straight Allen into the hole. Since the head is slightly bigger in all dimensions it can be chucked up and turned to size which gets rid of a lot of the ugly picked up during the swaging.

 

What about checking out a "TRACTOR SUPPLY"? Just a thought........

 

Thanks for the detailed explanation, I don't want to, but before I did all that I'd weld a heavy stainless washer to the head of a stainless low head and sand the top thinner. Polish it up. I just have to be careful with the allen wrench because it will have less to grab on a count of not being ad deep after I sand it.

Machine shop quoted me 200 for What I think is worth a 12pack Oh lathe work. I can't imagine what they'd want to make bolts, holy ****..

 

Just saw your post today. I had every much the same problem.
I reworked the mounting bolts on a 1941 PU, when repairing the hinges.

Here are the fasteners that I used, worked perfect.

Mc Master Carr. fasteners

Pictures of bolt are in the next post

http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/117/3112/=bvp5c6

There are two different styles of fasteners used. Both came from Mc
Master Carr

One fastener is a countersunk torque head fastener, and the other Low profile Allen head. The low profile head is .166 thousand's of a inch. If there is a 1/4 of an inch these will work

The fasteners that your looking for are used, to hold the windage tray in the V10 viper motor. Don't remember if they were 8 mm or 6 mm bolts

 

Here are what the bolts look like as posted in post #47

Tried the Harley shop? They look a lot like the bolts that hold the bag protectors(rear crash bars) to the frame......probably not right, but damn they look similar

 

Like these?

Ill check my bagger for comparison, thanks

 

My HAMB brothers, Those are tamper proof correctional facility fasteners. You can get those from Fastenal. We use those in our jail facility at my city. Some new car mfg. Are using them to get vital warranty parts out of the reach of us home repair guys.

 

Ohhh brother Effie, let me get a part # from you because I spent an hour at fastenal and they said can't get them. Those I'm looking for are Torx or hex drive but tamper proof would work as long I can get them back out with special tool and without damage.

 

nah...the dennisjerk kit looks like hardware store chrome bolts...the HD stuff is cheesehead torx, but may be a little thicker head. And definitely metric. My camera's at the shop, and my bagger's downstairs, and I'm lazy.....3 for 3 tonight

 

I may have some at my garage how many do you need. I worked for an airline and this is the bolt that holds the first cl*** seats foot rest together on Boeing 767. They are stainless and polish up real nice.

 

Quan***y 30
But, 24 if I never drop one that rolls to the center of the universe! Or mess one up.
That'd be great if you can help me out

 

Its called a hex or torx panhead machine screw. Do a search and you will find them.

 

Have you tried searching truss heads? Like a pan head, but thinner.
Also, there's a company called Spae Naur in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada that carries a lot of oddball stuff. They're online.

 

HERE IS LINK FOR TACOMA SCREW PRODUCTS! http://www.tacomascrew.com/ let us know wtf these *******s are called and where you ended up getting them plus we want pictures of them installed! hahahaha!
