JBrennand Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I have a 1920 Cleveland which has 7/16 hub bolts/carriage bolts. They do not have a square fitting like most carriage bolts rather a larger round head. Anybody here have a contact or company for such a bolt? We just had the wheels remade by Calimer’s Wheel Shop in PA. the original Wheels had a mixture of the original hub/carriage bolts and then some modern hex bolts. We’d like to return them to the originals but obviously not many places make the non squared carriage bolts. Any sites / makers out there you can refer me too? Thank you.

37_Roadmaster_C Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 If you can not find a source another option would be to find a standard carriage bolt with the closest head and then having a local machinist turn the square off the shank and even turn down the shank and rethread if needed to make them proper. This would be a very simple matter with a lathe and a small bit of time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArticiferTom Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 What anchors it to hub from turning ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Most vehicle manufacturers used wheels from other vendors. Look closely at the wheel/rim and lugs to see if there is a manufacturer stamp to ID the wheels. Then post photos and ID so the correct wheel bolts can then be found.

auburnseeker Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Post a picture of one if you can. I have a few drawers full of NOS hub bolts from a long closed parts store that opened in the teens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
