Hello everyone, I'm looking for black bolts with plain heads for fixing a joystick and a 2 1/4" trackball in a metal control panel. I know some of these have a square part under the head that locks into a square notch in a metal control panel. I've been to my local Home Depot and Réno-Dépot (a Home Depot competitor here in Quebec) and could not find anything useful in black. Is there any online source ? Since english is not my native language, I don't know for what I should look for; what's the english way to call those kind of bolts ? I guess I need 3 inches long for the trackball. Thanks in advance |

I've read that you can make your own black bolts from regular. Just take gun bluing and apply two coats. |

I've used several thin coats of gloss spray pain with good results. |

Black, zinc-coated carriage bolts can be found on eBay. That's where I bought a box of 2". I'd send you a bagfull, but they are too short for a trackball. You'll need 3" carriage bolts for that. A spraycan full of black Rustoleum works just fine on silver bolts from Home Depot. I've had excellent results with it. |
