Title: Carriage Bolt Size for CP?
Post by: crackbone on May 27, 2003, 05:58:06 pm

Yup, I'm back with more silly questions...

I'm looking for carriage bolts for my CP (to hold down the lexan).  The only problem is that I can only find carriage bolts at the hardware store which are about a half-inch diameter top... and it seems a bit big.  

So, anywhere I can get smaller ones?  And more importantly, SHOULD I?  Do I need bolt heads that size to hold down the cp?

Use finishing washer for lexan.

Lot of other people uses finishing washer and very small(#6) flat filip screws.
