Keith, Jim, John, List : When I read about the pentagonal headed
bolt
Jim has there in Palmdale, I remembered I have maybe six or eight of those,
with a slightly crowned head and chrome or nickel plating, in one of my '
oddball
bolt / fastener ' boxes, but I could not recall what they might be from .
I just now recalled from whence they came : They are little leveling
adjustment bolts from the bottom of the legs on some old FURNITURE !
I think the crowned head is to fit into those little cups that fit
under furniture
to save the floor or rug ....... yesteryear stuff, it seems .
No automotive application here ....... certainly not a grade 8 ( or
anything ),
and it would sure bug your MAC or Snap On dealer to come up with a
box end or socket to fit it ........
At least those old square headed farm machinery bolts would fit an
adjustable and some open ends ....... or serve as a quicky throwaway
drift pin .
Bruce, wondering with many of you who our next Prez will be .......
