Problem is that this part is no longer available....

Is it possible to go to the hardware store and get a fully threaded hex bolt and cut it to size?

I can also grind off the threads in the middle and make it look just like the stock ones.

dinky,

I'm sure plenty of other guys have some places they use too.
