Default Spring center bolt

When I thought I had seen it all, I found this spring center bolt in a box of Ford bolts I picked up. It is one piece and had the special nut which holds the grease fitting and the internal star washer still on it. Imagine how much it cost to make the head on this thing.

Okay, I'll imagine... a fraction of a cent for the entire bolt. I small fraction of a cent.
