Can any one tell me what the proper name is for the 10-24 x 3/8 bolts that are being sold for, as grill rivet replacements?

I see them on ebay all the time, it looks like a little carraige bolt with no square shoulder, has a head thats about 3/8 dia, uses a keps nut.

theres a place in pa. its called luttys chevrolet parts who also carry these rivets you are speaking of, I use the for installing my tcs switch to firewall gutter, exact size, try [http://www.luttyschevy.com/pages/home.html# if thats not it try the search engine for luttys, mike

Finding them is not a problem, they are all over ebay. I need to know what the proper name for them is. I'm the buyer for an elevator company in Kansas City and I purchase hardware by the boatload. If I knew what they were called I would probably buy a Thousand of the little buggers, because I think 15 or 25 for $10.00 is a little outrageous. This Florida auto fasteners who has a zillion different sales for these things on ebay, has to be bending folks over pretty bad at that price.

An old (1976 ed) Machinery's Handbook I have shows a "Round Head Bolt" spec that looks like it, ANSI B18.5-1971; the spec also has the "Round Head, Square Neck Bolt" that looks like what we call a carriage bolt. It's a #10 x 24 with a .450" diameter head that's .104" tall. Check with one of your suppliers & see if he knows what I'm talking about. Hope that helped.

IF you scroll down on the page after it loads, there are some pretty good pictures of them.

The "rivet" bolts are used to bolt lockers together. Search the net for a locker company and I'm sure you can access a supplier. If you can buy a large quantity form one of you suppliers, I'd be interested in sharing a quantity.

How do you keep the head of the bolt from turning while you are tightening the nut????????????:clonk:

I purchased my grill rivot bolts for my 67 through Florida Fasteners via ebay. Since then, I discovered a company in Windber, PA , called Restoration Specialties and Supply, Inc (www.restorationspecialties.com) (814) 467-9842 has them. I believe they are stainless steel and are part number 1120, (.55 cents each or $44/100) they come with nut and lockwasher, 10/32 thread.

I found them!! One of our customers sells and repairs lockers, and while I was at the job site he just gave me a big ol handfull of the bolts and nuts:hurray:



Rocky

Did he have a name for them? I would like to check around my area and see if I can find those without having to use Ebay.

I asked, all he said was it's called locker hardware, and they buy it from locker manufacturing companys like Lyons.

Edit-I did a web search under locker hardware and they are called locker bolts! .04 ea


Rocky

Do you have the web address that you found them under? thanks

Edit: found the site www.langequip.com (http://www.langequip.com)

Jim,

Thats the one!

EDIT-Wow, I never thought finding a name for a simple little bolt would be so hard. The exact name of the little buggers are........slotless locker body bolts!



Rocky

I believe those are called slotless locker body bolts......correct me if I am wrong:D
