Default Zenith Carb bolt question

Anyone know if the "thick" head bolt with a 9/16th head is made by anyone for the 1928 / 1929 Zenith carbs? I need 2 or 3, maybe more depending on cost.

The body bolt for the 1928 carb should be 1/2" hex with a thick head. The lockwasher for all years is a thin lockwasher 1/16" thick.

According to the current Guidelines and Standards, in July of 1928 they changed to 9/16", with a head that is 9/32" thick and 9/16th across.

Hi: Can buy the original bolts for that carb from steve at bert's in denver. Just type in bert's model "a" center and look there or just call 1-800-321-1931 and just ask if they have them. I think for that bolt u are talking about is the same for all the years but not sure but just ask them they have a lot of original bolts for carbs. Good luck
