Trying to mount T-Stik in a metal CP?
javeryh:
I want to install my T-Stiks in my CPs but I'm not sure what type of hardware to use. I'm envisioning some sort of bolt with a semi-spherical head but I'm not sure what they are called or where to get them. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Jabba:
Yeah, thy're called carriage bolts...

You can get them at HD. I think 1/4" diameter should do it, but go in to Home Depot with the the mounting plate and get one that fits. In a metal panel, should not need anything more than 1/2" to 3/4"...
I painted the top of my bolts black with blak enamel pain you get from a hobby shop...

I've had trouble getting the correct sized carriage bolts at Home Depot in the past. When in doubt, you can order them online.

Thanks - I see that Happs carries these things but I would have no idea what size to get (also you have to order 100 of them)...
