Default Fasteners to hold doors to hinges on woodies 1946

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!

The correct length of the front weather strip piece is 35 5/16" long. I have an extra one for the passengers side front. I have a piece that's 33.5" long that could be trimmed and used on the rear doors. I also have (3) metal pieces that go on top of the rocker that hold the floor mat in place.(Passenger side front and rear, Driver side front only) All these pieces are nice rust free.

I believe the door hinge screws are a slotted flat head 5/16-24 with a #12 head. If so, we stock them

Correct and they also use a special countersunk flat washer. Speaking of Ed Clarke's inventory, does anyone know what has happened to it? Might be a great addition to your budding empire 35.
