Hi can anyone help I am in need of some wheel hub bolts but I want to use the original domed head bolts does anyone have any used but in good condition ones they want to sell

Hi,

I would not play around with 2nd hand bolts, apart from being worn and possibly stretched they are usually peened on the end.

You can purchase new bolts from The Filling Station or Garry Wallace if you want the original. I just used store bought modern coach head bolts. They do the same job, and no one has ever noticed. If you do still want to use 2nd bolts let me know, I may be able to help you for just the cost of postage.

Cheers

If you are talking about the wooden wheel hub bolts, it is important to have the bolts with a shank size the same as the thread diameter ,most modern Coach bolts have rolled threads and the shank size/diameter is a smaller diameter and will work loose in the wheel hub. try a John Deere tractor agent as they have some very similer bolts in there parts and also made from good quality steel.
