austinsailor Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I need a batch of bolts and the spring like nuts that hold the floorboards, hood and other stuff on my B1B. I don't even know what they are called, but if I knew what to call them I'm guessing Carr McMaster would have them. Can someone educate me?

Plymouthy Adams Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) not sure of your need but by description, Zeus fastener comes to mind.... Edited February 21, 2018 by Plymouthy Adams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinsailor Posted February 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 You mean dzus? No, those are quarter turn fasteners. The dodges are held by a bolt with big, wide threads sort of like sheet metal threads. Not sure I've seen them on cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Rogers Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) I think your referring to Acme thread bolts. I've been looking for a few myself to replace some that are missing but I have not found a source yet.I cant remember who it was, but a member here posted a photo of some hardware that he had just purchased and there were 3 bright and shiny new Acme thread bolts among them. If I remember right he said he got it from a Ace Hardware. Even though I had already checked, after I saw his post I checked all the local Ace stores again with no luck.

Merle Coggins Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Acme bolts are nearly impossible to find. I replaced some with regular J-nuts and standard bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiftyFifty Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Yep, I did as Merle did, it's much easier to buy J nuts in a easy to find standard thread and then you can replace with your choice of style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
