Re: Wood floor replacment bolts and metal strips.

I now have 4 sets of 12 of the # 1 bolt in the first photo below. They are not an exact match to the ones the factory used (Photo 3). The factory ones had 7/8" head with a 1" long 3/8 shaft.

These have a 1" head with a 1- 1/2" 5/16" shaft. (Photo 2). They do however have the same shallow dome head as the factory bolts did. Visually They would be amost indistinguishable from a factory bolt once installed.

Modern carriage head bolts have a much smaller head with a rounder dome head or the other option would be a head with a slot and no square shank under the head. Photos 4 & 5.

I will include 12 of these for no charge with an order of the rear bolt set.
