    Default Bolt needed

    Anyone have or can tell me where to get a 3/8" x 7" full threaded hex head bolt?
    Or a metric equivalent?
    Thanks

    Chris, go to any bolt company or even the evil green shed and buy a short length of all thread and weld a nut on it.
    Rgds,

    Depends what you need it for but how about a length of allthread and a couple of nuts.

    Yes, two nuts is my next best - I don't have a welder.

    Whats it for? Allthread is pretty soft. If for a machine application you might want grade 8 or better.

    Its to run in an HDPE thread on a jig, so it doesn't need to be tough.

    Allthread is often galvanised and this gives a relatively rough surface which might not be compatible with a soft material like HDPE.

    Check the surface finish on the allthread and maybe even have a look at SS as an option.

    When the entire shaft is threaded it's not called a bolt, it's a set screw. Might help you find what you want.

    Two cheap places:
    Specialty Fasteners - Home page
    ACT Nuts & Bolts - ACT Nuts & Bolts

    A place that has almost everything:
    United Fasteners - Stainless Fasteners, Bolts And Studs, Bolts And Nuts (a 7" x 3/4 in steel - UNF Grade 8 Bolts, High Tensile - Code: UN0025 034700* )

    And a place that can get the unfindable:
    Allfasteners Australia


    Hope these help. Ive found AllFasteners to be unreal in the past.


    * the 3/8 goes only to 6" but they do have the 5/8 in 6" - 058800

    We have a place called Porters Industrial up here. I'm sure there would be something similar down your way. A place like that would have a few options for you
