keithb7 Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Might that carriage bolt, with a square shoulder, slide right into a square punched hole? It does not twist. It is anchored in place. The Nut on the other ends twists on. it might still work fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulu Posted November 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) Thank you Merle! I have a copy of that somewhere in my shelf of engineering books that I don’t read anymore. Unfortunately, in a bag of 50 fence bolts, this was the only one that had the correct offset head. Edited November 24, 2021 by Ulu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulu Posted November 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) At first I thought it was a smart idea to use hot dip galvanized bolts on my boat trailer but these things have terrible slop too. If you’re expecting a 2B fit you should probably expect 4D. It was supposed to go through a bracket that holds the roller at the mid-front of my boat trailer. When I put it one way the bolt hits the bracket. When I turned the bolt 180 it went right in. I disliked this so much that it prompted me to crawl my ancient ass out from under the boat, go find a good bolt, and rant about it here for two pages.
