I am making brackets for my alternator and steering pump and cannot find any 3/8-14 x 3/8-24 studs anywhere. I have some hexagonal tubing that I am making custom mounts with and need these studs so I can bolt them to the accessory holes on the heads and block. The tubing is 3/8-24 and the accessory holes I believe are 3/8-14 but they might be -16 thread. Either way I still can't find any studs. Let me know if you have a secret place to gets studs from. Fastenal, Ace, and True Value don't carry them.

Thanks,
Peter

 

the threads are 3/8-16 and 3/8-24 good luck finding studs, maybe try going to a hardware store and purchasing all threaded rod.

 

I spose I can get plain metal rod and cut my own threads. If I want 3/8 threads what size rod do I want? The next size up correct?

 

Well, low and behold, 3 True Value's later and I found them. Expensive little buggers at 3.00/ea but I got them.
