Title: Help with Happ bolt order please.
Post by: Apollo on May 09, 2004, 07:35:22 pm

OK so I need to order some black 1.5" carriage bolts to attach my competition joysticks to my metal CP.
Problem is I don't understand the product description codes for carriage bolts on the Happ site.
Can anyone enlighten me ( New Zealand is a long way if I get the order wrong, lol ).
Thankyou.

P.S. I think this is the right part # 43-0462-00

The part number you gave is for a 10-24 by 1 1/2" carriage bolt. 10-24 means it's a 3/16"  diameter bolt with 24 threads per inch, that preticular bolt is 1 1/2" long.

Since you're mounting to a metal CP you could get away with shorter bolts, but it's just as easy to cut them shorter once you have them in hand.

Awesome thanks for your help sounds like I ordered the right thing, although yes I probably should have got shorter ones.
Thankyou.
