1/2 inch coach bolts wanted

[johnsawle]

Does anyone have a source of old 'big head' half inch dia. coach bolts please (also now known as cup square bolts)?
The thread is immaterial since the shanks will have to be cut and lengthened.
I have searched ebay without success. I need about 20 number.

Please PM me if you can help.

Thanks Steve, but no use I'm afraid. Theirs are all modern stock where the curved pan head has a shallow radius
The ones I am trying to match have much 'fatter' plumped up heads.

If I can't find a source of original old stock I will have to use the modern equivalents, but I will make every effort first.

John, now very difficult to procure. I sold a heap of old stock I had to a guy restoring two Dennis Lorries (1908 and 1911).

With respect to finding something with a suitable head and cutting/welding to suit, have you tried the USA? you may then be able to weld 1/2 whit threaded bar onto the heads.

Thanks Hedd, I'll try that.

Thanks Sandra. Several lengths from 3 inches to 36 inches.
We are in the process of restoring the second of two Wallis traction wagons and I have run out of suitable bolts from my stash of odds and ends.

Perhaps a message to Kibworth DIY Hardware?
He is constantly buying and selling old stock from various sources.

By accident I came across this yesterday

You may need a kings ransom to buy the stock however.
