I purchased several of the special 5/16 machine bolts from Ed Clarke several years ago. These were used to fasten the rear door hinges to the center door post and front doors to cowl section. Unfortunately I did not buy enough or have misplaced some. I need the 3" X 5/16 . I can probably make some from ordinary bolt by grinding head down,rather buy 10 or so though. What is correct name for these and anyone have some I can buy??
Also, had a thread on here few weeks ago about the lower weather strip piece on these woody doors. I could not buy any specifically for 46_48 wagons and bought set for tudor as advised by Carpenter. The front pieces that attach to rocker(front door) are 33 1/2 in long. These look woefully short. They do not go to center post by couple inches and are short of going full length of rocker. Anyone have correct length of what these should be. Thanks again!
