M35 Door hinge bolts

[Minemule]

Does anyone know where I can find the special door hinge bolts for mounting the west coast mirror frames on an M35? They are 9/32" in diameter, 3 1/4 inches long with 1/2" hex heads. The threaded part is 1/4x 28 and uses castellated lock nuts. The NSN is 5306004094066 and the part number is 11608931. Any help would be appreciated.

Just drill the holes out and use some skinny Grade 8 bolts. That's what we did in the Army.

The nearest available solution will be 5/16 shoulder bolts. Those are readily available. 5/16 grade 8 is also a viable choice. Just drill it out. 9/32 and fine thread is just not something that the normal world uses. 32nd sizes are highly unusual.

There is one supplier in Germany that has the real thing. 12.50 EUR each plus shipping.

I have some, but they are the carriage bolt type head, not hex head. They work just the same.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my thread. I got a long 5/16" hex head grade 8 bolt and made exact copies on a lathe. I found the website in Germany that had them but the price and shipping was not worth it. Have a good day sirs.

Some pictures with measurements would be nice - might help someone else reproduce the same solution!

... basically the same, slightly improved solution...
