What Is This Bolt For?
Found this as I was sorting stuff I had picked of old cars but I don’t know what it’s for or if it is early Ford?
Thanks ...... |

Tom, It doesn't look like early ford hardware to me. Not sure what it would have been used on though.

Re: What Is This Bolt For?
I would bet it is made to hold a big ground cable to iron framing, maybe a lightning rod or such.

Re: What Is This Bolt For?
Bit off topic, but......
Based on 1905 steel on a hydro generator. These are modified, and..... spec'd to work and hold. In the field we call it a Chicago'd bolt. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk |

I was looking forward to a cross-country run in the '35 this September, but unfortunately, that tour and meet have been canceled. I'm now hoping for a run to Nevada in '21. Quote:
It could also be some type of anchor as 50fordcoupeman suggests or possibly a missing fastener from the other coopmans Hayes board

Re: What Is This Bolt For?
Could that be an unusual bolt to hold the clam shell together?

Re: What Is This Bolt For?
Jim makes a good observation. Maybe a structural bolt for scaffolding?

Re: What Is This Bolt For?
Many decades ago Mom would send me out the door, and tell me to go find a Sky Hook,
I like what J Franklin offered.

Re: What Is This Bolt For?
It's used for mounting the clam shell pieces to the rear transmission mount on a '32, possibly others. If it isn't 7/16 fine threads, then it's something else.
