Title: Carriage Bolts
Post by: daeven on January 10, 2005, 02:28:42 pm

I'm looking for a source for carriage bolts.  I want #8x32 bolts in black finish, in 1/2" and 1-1/4" lengths.  I've purchased some from http://www.mikesarcade.com, but their prices are a bit steep for buying in quantity.  Bob Roberts has the 3/8" size, but I really want the smaller sizes.  None of the big hardware sites seem to carry small carriage bolts, and googling for them hasn't helped.

Look in the yellow pages for bolt & screw.  When I need special parts like that I'll just run up to the local bolt and screw company (Mid-States Bolt & Screw here in mid-Michigan) and they haven't failed me now on the size and type I want.  They have most every kind of bolt and can order the rest.
