I'm Looking for a source for these type of bolts, economical, in bulk & in various sizes. I'm not turning up much and I think it's because I'm using the wrong term.
It's not a bolt, it's a stud. double ended hex stud seems to generate the most good search results on google
Hmmm... A lock washer, a nut and a stud with a nut welded in the middle. In other words, you're probably doing better than I would am. What are you going to be using them for?
Collar Stud - also called Hex Collar Stud https://www.amkproducts.com/bulk2.asp?code=7420&title=Studs+-+Hex+Collar
What I'm saving, is the link to AMK Products....they have some really neat fasteners! http://www.amkproducts.com/catalog_pdf.htm
Chevy used them a lot on intake manifolds. The bolt part to attach the manifold to the cylinder head and the stud part to anchor brackets for A/C compressor and other accessories.
Chevy also used them at least through the mid sixties for water pump bolt. Battery ground cable attaches to short stud.
the link to AMK shows that you can buy all those neat ones that you mentioned, listed by application. Kind of pricey at 4 bucks each, but since you only need one of most of them, it's a good deal. Originals are getting hard to find!
Yes, I recognize the type of part....have seen these for years on OEM applications as mentioned in above posts. What I am ecstatic about is knowing about a VENDOR to get them from. Makes the idea of using such a part in a build more practical if you have a source for a variety of sizes and types. Ray
This maybe a stupid question, but couldn't you just neatly tig weld a nut on the appropriate size stud? I'm sure you could do that for less that $14 a piece.
Of course. At 14.00 each id weld them all day long for everyone that wants one. At 4.00 each maybe not. At 1.00 each- no I'll buy them. My gut tells me that a box of 100 should cost less than 100, or 1.00sh each depending on size and grade. Verification at Amk will go $1,100 for 1000 so that's real close. I figured I'd look and ask before welding.
Have you tried Fastenal? Or any local industrial hardware place? I first thought rocker arm stud too, but remember them on the thermostat housings also. $14 a piece seems incredible.
You COULD but you'd most likely lose the strength of the stud if it were a hardened part to start with. Plus if you need one with a shoulder that won't work
I called them all kinds of bad names when I try and take the nut off the top and the studs comes loose and I can't get a wrench on the stud hex.
At $14.00 each I think that I will single point them, I'm retired, got a lathe and more time than money.
You could do good on those pesky Ford water pump bolts and even better if you want the job removing the broken ones.
Seems to me these style bolts used to be pretty popular on Ford exhaust manifolds to attach the 'pre heat' ductwork that went to the air cleaner too...
