I'm still looking for a few suitable bolts to retain the demountable rims on the tourer.
They're dome headed, square necked (7/16" across the square), with the threaded section being 3" in length.
I've not found any suppliers that do them thus far (metric equivalents won't do the job), any suggestions? I tried Namrick, and buzzy's local contact, but no joy so far.

What are the closest fit that are too large? if its the thread thats too large it could be turned down, the square could be filed or milled?

Might help to know, that in USA they are called 'Lug Bolts' I believe, and have absolutely nothing to do with ears. _________________ Dane- roverdriver but not a Viking. |

I don't think so, Dane.
In the US, "Lug Nuts" are the wheel nuts on the wheel studs, or lugs. So Lug Bolts would be like the VW Beetle wheel bolts that thread into the hub/drum.
Coach bolts & Carriage bolts are synonymous. They are usually quite long.
I think Bumper Bolts are called the same in both countries. They are usually quite short.
My only concern is that bumper bolts might be made differently from coach/carriage bolts. I have a feeling that the domed bit on a bumper bolt is attached after the square-headed bit is manufactured - a coach/carriage bolt is all one piece. This would presumably affect the strength.
I may be wrong _________________ Mike - MVPeters at comcast.net

Mike, The way I understand the American definition is that a 'Lug Bolt' holds the removable part of the wheel. In Rick's case, as with all vehicles with demountable rims, the wheel is designed to remain on the vehicle, and only the rim is removed. AFAIK the terminology was first applied to the bolts for a demountable rim, then later applied to what we would probably call wheel nuts, when the whole wheel became the removable item. _________________ Dane- roverdriver but not a Viking. |

Yes, Dane, that's a good possibility. I really hadn't considered that style of wheel & rim.
It's a bit like commercial truck split rims - I have some good friends in a local truck repair shop - I'll get their terminology input, if it's printable! _________________ Mike - MVPeters at comcast.net
