long 9/16 bolts: where to find them?

[Haycock]

i need 2 9/16 x 6.5" or 7" grade 8 (or higher) bolts. i have checked everywhere with no luck. everywhere that has them has a 50+ minumum and i dont feel like paying $200 for 2 bolts. if anyone knows of a place that will sell indavidual bolts please let me know. thanks

Hillco Fasteners in Garden Grove, I'm sure they could order up 2 if they don't have them in stock; normally will have them in a day or so.

Here's a few places that I use:
Hillco Fastener in Garden Grove
McFadden-Dale Hardware, various locations in So Cal
Rainbow Bolt in Riverside, the cheapest place to buy F911 bolts

If you're feeling lucky you can try a surplus place, there's one in Nat'l City, don't know where you are. Plus they sell by the pound so it'll be considerably cheaper.

I get all of my grade 8 (190,000 psi) bolts from Johnson Machinery (a CAT dealer) . They have killer prices and some long ass bolts . I have found every bolt that I need to build my car from them. Ask your local CAT dealer for a Safe Source book. It will list all of the different sizes and they carry 12 points. I found out about it just because I work there.

If your in Folsom, try Blue Collar Suppy in Sac. They have alot of hard to find hardware.

Nice!.......The bolt heads(6 pt capscrews) even say CAT on them if I remember correctly...

thanks for all the replies! i looked through mcmasters book and didnt see them long enough, i guess i should of looked at there web site.

i was thinking of calling holt (our cat dealer up here) but 9/16 is kinda a bastard size and i usualy dont see them on equepment so i didnt call them.

thanks

Here are some CAT part #'s for some bolts and nuts . In a 9/16" bolt they only make a 6" and an 8" bolt. And they do say CAT on the head of each bolt.

9/16" x 6" 18tpi = 8S4752
4.63 grip length

9/16" x 6" 12tpi = 8S4742
4.63" of grip length


9/16" x 8" 12tpi = 9H9129
6.38" of grip length

grade eight 9/16" x 12tpi nut = 5P0539

grade eight 9/16" washer = 5P8246

grade eight 9/16" x 18tpi nut = 5P0540

This is where I get all of my fasteners for critical locations. You can get the shoulder length in 1/16 incriments.

Ask for a catalog they have everything you could use for your application.

I had this same problem a few months back.

My solution was to order 14mm metric bolts that were long enough for my application. I could not find the 9/16" bolts anywhere, and I looked at a lot of places. Metric seems to be a bit longer, all the way to about 9" long.

The 14mm bolts are almost the exact same outside diameter, and if you get a 10.9 grade metric bolt, it is the same 150,000 tensile strength as a grade 8 bolt.

Try Metric and Multisandard. They are the place to find hard to find metric stuff, but they dont like to sell small quantities.
