Indented Hex Head Bolts

[randygk]

Anyone found a source for the indented hex head bolts that hold the windshield assy to the body. I have braced myself for flaming and the "hey just put a dang bolt in it", but thought I'd be different and ask. They are
3/8-24 X 1 1/4 and I've found plenty of 3/8-16 's. Oh well at least I probably got your attention.
Thanks
Randy

Can you add a pic please? My trucks are not near and it is driving me nuts trying to picture the bolt you speak of. Do you mean allen bolt? or cap screw?

Thanks for the help, JasonJC's pic is the bolt I'm looking for. It has a indented head and
no flange (built in washer). I've found some on line but they'er 3/8-16 - coarse thread, I'll keep looking
Thanks

The simple answer is, if everything else fails; order flanged ones and remove the flange with a grinder.

"hey just put a dang bolt in it" SINCE YOU ARE ALREADY BRACED.

Do you just need one set?

Does the indent really matter?? Fastenal has several 3/8" - 24 x 1 1/4" bolts.

Not sure of the purpose of the indentation.
It may so that there's more "hex" for a wrench to grab or it may be nothing more that a by-product of the head formng process.

 

[jasonjc]

I looked at my trucks and some have those and some have those and plain old hex head bolts.

 

[randygk]

Just thought I'd stick with what came out, well several of the originals came out in more than one piece and
with the aid of a drill bit. I guess I'll decide when the wndshield's ready to go back on. Thanks for the input.

Awww, those indents are only good for collecting mud, and grease. They are bugger to clean but to each there own.

If Fastenal dose not have it I guess you could try Ace hardware.
Fastenal has a catalog that is about 3" thick, and they give it away for free.
