nfcracer Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Any advice on where to go to buy a couple of rod end bolts? I'm assuming it's just a dimensional part, see measurements in the pic. It is for my 1924 Cole V-8, but Cole was an assembled car and used a Northway engine. The Cole version of the Northway V-8 was designed and manufactured specifically for Cole, and it was basically the same from 1916 - 1925. But Northway also provided engines to Cadillac and Olds, and I'm assuming that they shared common parts like rod end bolts. Also, this engine was rebuilt in the mid-90's, so the rod end bolts are probably not original, anyhow. Any ideas on who to talk to to figure out what I really need?

46 woodie Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Would it be feasible to fabricate your own from a grade eight, 5/16-24 bolt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commonly available in either 2" or 2-1/4" under the head, both have 7/8" of thread. Flatten off one side of the head....seems like it ought to work.

DFeeney Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I would think once you got into the "Pipe Line" a forum member could point you to a source that supply rod bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
