Eye Bolts

[canebreaker]

Does anyone have a dozen 10x1.50 eye bolts that aren't needed on your project?

G can get a bunch of em over at Moore's!!!

Heck, I've got almost 3 cases of those spindles.

I found them at one place, 2 weeks shipping, $9 each.

I got the racks installed today and loaded the yaks on it. I'm thinking, it would be better if the setscrews were eyebolts to secure the yaks. I check, the mounting bolts are the same thread as the setscrews, so off to the hardware store I go. I get to the bolt section and find the bolt checker thing. It's metric, 10 x 1.50, so I look around for a while before HELP arrives. Nope, we don't carry metric eyebolts, try Fastenal behind Napa up the street. So I walk in and tell the guy what I need. He looks on his computer and finds the cast eyebolt in metric, only ones he can find. How many boxes do you need, 50 per box $449.94 with tax? Dang, that's $9 per bolt, and 38 more than I need. Thank you for your time, I've got to rethink this. I stop at TSC, HD and L on the way home, they don't carry them either. I've got a week to figure a tiedown for the yaks.

I checked McMaster's, they want over $6 each, 25 per box.

I'll get 12 bolts the length I need and weld a chain link to the head. Or check out cam straps.

You should bring them to spring camp and let Big blue raffle them off or give them away for door prizes. I know GDG talked about them thing all weekend long at picwick and feesh was excited about it as well cause GDG said he was going to build something for him with those spindles, maybe when he gets it done they will post a picture
