Needed: Very specific bolt

[Colin]

I need 6, 1/2 in (15mm) long 5mm(diameter) recessed top bolts with an allen key bit. MAC's can order them, but only in 100 quantity ($70).

I only need six. any ideas???

[RidinRails]

you should be able to order them and return the rest..did you try the other stores like menards, and lowes ect..

[Turbo5Oh]

um its half standard and half metric? or is the length a estimate? any way far as bolt selection goes ive always found scheels hardware has the best selection ive never once had to order something, but i havent been there since they moved so it could be different now

[Colin]

^the threaded hole is for a 5mm bolt, the depth i need is about 1/2 in, so the closest thing would be about 15mm right??

I'll try scheels. I didn't even think of them when i was running around

If like the ones below I can check tomorrow and let you know..

Do they have any that are longer that you can cut down??

[moparguy]

check out fastenal. You will have to buy a box of them, but it usually isnt 70 bucks.

Scheels hardware.

[fanaticrockford]

Have you tried ace hardware in moorhead? I got some there almost the same exact size awhile ago. They were like a $1.50 each though.

scheels carries every bolt for a honda at least, ive always found the goofiest ones ever there.

I have bolt like that to cut down. those are pretty easy to find in the 1in length. Unfortunately in need/want the recessed head (see shitty MS paint drawing) if i can't find it after scheels ('cause i've been everywhere else) then i'll just start cutting.

I have those, not sure in 5 mm, I'll let ya know later today

[Colin]

thank you.

[XJHEAD]

Looks like they are either 8 mm the others are 10-32 threads on them. Try Northern States Supply on monday, they are behind the water tower off I-29 and 12 ave N

www.mcmaster.com ...if you cant find it there, it dont exist.

[Colin]

So I went to scheels: I walked in, was taken aback by how "bed,bath,beyondish" it was....Then i got past all of that crap to the actually hardware section. Beautiful. They have everything. I mean it. I'll never bother going anywhere else.

I order alot of bolts, screws and such for work and we use fastenal. if you bring what you need or something close and explain it to them they can order. I have never had to order more than needed. Check there website. www.fastenal.com
