Unconventional bolt - please help identify
 

These oddly shaped flat flange headed bolts hold the big mirrors onto the side of this 65 International I am sprucing up. Any idea what they are called so I can source a handful? I am missing a couple and need eight. Acorn nuts should be easy to find.

Those look like resistance weld studs to me, they should maybe have be projection welded into the door about 100 years ago....

T-bolts

Yup, what he said ^
Tee Bolt 1/4"-20, 20 PK (more choice) - POWERTEC

This style of bolt slides into longhood aluminum bumper trim and then through the front and rear bumpers.

You could probably use an elevator bolt if you can't find the exact replacement.

Yep. All good, my friends. Thank you. This should be easy.

Thanks for the link, Aerkuld.

If you have a local Fastenal they probably have them

Those look like an option as even the "perfect" t-bolt will have to be subjected to the bench grinder to fit the top of the door mounting location. Thanks.

What a coincidence. My landlord worked at Fastenal for years and he just came to the shop. "Steve' come here and look at this. Would Fastenal have these in stock" He says, not in stock. "That's a weld stud and you can get them at any welding supply house."

Nice!

More pictures of the International. I have a 63 in my side yard now. Grandpa bought it new. 30K original miles. Looked good until the barn fell on it.

Sort of like the stud version of a captured nut

When a stud like Bob works on it, it is the stud version bolt. :eek:

How cool is that? You really want to get me started, lol? This one has about 15k on it. Was a fire station truck It's the 4wd, D1300. Can't hit 50 mph on the freeway.

Is this a Chuck Norris thing?

He meant "When a spud like Bob works on it"

Sweet!

Thanks!

Bob, that's a great truck, is that yours or for a customer ?

We should have an IH thread around here, i might have to start one...

A customers but more a friend than an arms-length customer.

Quick story. I broke the passenger door window when gutting the door. I freaked out. Found an IH salvage place in Washington state. "Is there any way to get another window?" Guy says "Relax, I have 50 of them in the yard". They are all the same regardless of model across many years. Phew. $80 - Sold!

looks identical to the bolts that came with a toilet wax ring I just installed. You could probably find these bolts at a hardware plumbing section

Trailex also uses them to hold most of their aluminum trailers together. Drill a hole in your anvil and hammer a hex bolt head flat then file/grind to fit.

There are absolutely weld marks where the original weld studs were positioned.

However, the only stainless acorn nuts were 1/4-20 at Lowes, so brass toilet bolts for the win.

New, I hope

I love me some home depot engineering.

Dad's old '64 Travelall had mirrors a lot like that on it.
Had three gas tanks @60 gals total, split rims, it was a 1200 series.
They don't make them like that any more.

Beat me to it, by a month - toilet bolts is what I thought as well. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1599094527.jpg

Those non-wax rings are great. Reusable and a more secure seal. The void in the base of the toilet makes a good hidey hole. These rings make it simpler to use it.

T bolt or Trim bolt.
