Hi, does anyone know where I could get a bolt like this thats longer (by about 3/4" of an inch) to mount my Trippe lights to the mount connector. The one in the photo that came with the lights is too short. (There's only 7/8" of thread on this one).

What diameter is the bolt and OD of the washer? Is what is shown in the photo one or two pieces and if two pieces, is the conical washer seen and does it have to be that deep?

If there are no specialty bolts repro'd such as some made or carried by Classic and Exotic Services, it looks possible to come up with something workable by using a knurled neck carriage bolt and a belleville washer or maybe the male half of a leveling washer from McMaster. The cone shape won't be near as deep and maybe not as wide with those washers so if it is seen and is a vital part of the install then maybe a no go..

I just figured it out, I had the bolt set too high in the housing. Thanks for the replies though!
