Hub bolts for early Chrysler wood wheels from Ford Rocky Mountain Brakes

[Flivverking]

For those who take note of where to get things and sizes of for current or future projects.   
Hub bolts of the carriage type ,2-1/4” x3/8 x 16 TPI with high dome head as used on my 1927 Chrysler 70 with 18” wheels (and others I’m sure )are pretty close to the the current bolts offered by Model T Ford suppliers as “extra long “hub bolts to fit accessory “Rocky Mountain “brake drums to the early Ford wood wheel .

 

The new R-M brake bolts measure 2-5/16” from under the head to threaded end, with a thicker dome head then the standard carriage shallow head bolts,but not quite as pointy a crown as my original bolt heads.

$2.10 each.

Propped low profile nuts to fit

$.15 each
 

Searching out the correct size , just plain serviceable, carriage bolt was a bit challenging as most carriage bolts under 6” length were full thread not partial thread as required for this application.

FlivverKing, 

Thanks for posting this. I just checked my 1917 Maxwell parts book and this is the exact size for my car. I now know where to get replacements when I send out my wood wheels for restoration.

Appreciate the help,

Howard Dennis

Maxwell..1917..good for you.

I find lots of parts through the years by investigating other auto make suppliers.
