Any clue how much they would be if I ordered them online? It would probably be easier to find steel or brass tube stock of the appropriate size. Get a tap and die set to run the threads, and just double nut one end to use as a head. _________________________ -- J.S. Knabe Grand # 10927 Kawai FS690

But would the threads be as strong as regular bolt threads(Unless that is how bolts are made)? _________________________ -Jon Lee YouTube Channel - http://www.youtube.com/user/JleewSongs

Maybe make one and test it before going to the tedious work of doing them all. _________________________ -- J.S. Knabe Grand # 10927 Kawai FS690
