1931 Wheel Lug Bolts

I am having new bolts made by the machinist my brother works with but he had asked me few question which I hope someone here could help me out with his question and concern.

Quote:
Machinist questions. Like if they are hardened steel, #5 steel. He said he will make them out of SS but has a concern. Even though SS is a hard metal it will stretch if a lot of force is put on it. Let me know how you want him to proceed.


Thanks

Hello Tom:

If I recall correctly these are already being made by Blevins Screw Products - call Bruce at (810) 744-1820. He probably has them in stock. He had them for my 1941 and 1934.

He advertises regularly in the Cormorant News Bulletin.

Save the favor from your machinist friend until you really need him.

Just confirming Roger's advice, I'm looking at Bruce's list of items and wheel bolts for wooden artillery wheels are listed as applicable to 1929-3? (I believe they were used thru 1936). They are his item #54 at $14.00 each.

Left Bruce a message and he called me back with-in the hour. What a very pleasant person to talk to. He has email his catalog to my home email. I will look it over tonight.

FYI,
He stated he uses 303 stainless for the lugs. 3/4" is the hex-head of the lug. Threads are 9/16-18.

HAVE A GREAT DAY
