spurving bearing for a turboencabulator...

Sorry, don't actually know. :-D Probably a pin or axle or pivot

I think it's a "sex bolt".

The head shapes are a bit unusual but they are commonly called "Chicago Screws".

I thought you were kidding but this and "Chicago Bolt" are real terms I'd never heard of.

Cool...

Thanks HillRider. much appreciated.

I googled "Chicago Screws"

and it came up with "Steel Post and Screws, Chicago Screws, Barrel Nuts"


Now I have a starting point to track them down.

I thought that was a cocktail made with hot dog water in place of OJ

Chicago screw or sex bolt - really.

AlexCyclistRoch 04-28-16 05:44 PM

Chicago screws and then Detroit bolts.......

DrIsotope 04-28-16 06:36 PM

Modern term for easier googling: binding post.

Camilo 04-28-16 10:04 PM

Isn't it just a barrel nut and a round head bolt? these are probably from brake mounting.

That is a binding post. You can buy them in all shapes, sizes, and materials.

It is not a binding post. It is a shock mount bolt that the rear suspension rides on. A binding post doesn't have the strength of a bolt.

Yeah; screws, nuts, bolts, etc. are fasteners...
