Where to get custom bolts made?

[mitecl96]

I am needing to get a special bolt for me to finish up a project I am working on. I am not sure the style name of the bolt but I have looked and I can't get the bolt the size I need, they skip M14.

The bolt is an adjustment bolt for a control arm and needs to be RH thread on one side and LH thread on the other with a hex head in the middle. The thread needs to be M14x1.5 and each side needs to be 55mm long for a total length of 115mm. I have called all my machine shops in the area and none of them can do it.

Anyone know where I can get this style bolt or get one made? I need a total of only 2.

Why metric?

Not that I have anything against the metric system, but if you chose standard thread, a double adjuster like that is commonly available from many places...

Well the current parts that this is going to is already a metric thread.

I gave them a call. The person on the phone said they will have to ask their manager and call me back. Might have to go in or wait till after the holidays.

What are you doing?

I am trying to do the Intrepid control arm for my rear toe control arm. Got one side done and the arm ended up being to long and now with the arm adjusted all the way in I still am having alignment problems. The rear tire will not toe out anymore and stuck with it toed in big time. My plan is to replace the adjustment bolt with a shorter one.

Take the adjustment bolt out and take it to your local machine shop. Them guys will help you out and probably pretty cheap.
