Bogie Hub studs
« on: January 20, 2015, 02:00:26 PM »
Does anyone have an off the shelf source for the bogie hub studs? (that hold the bogies on to the hub)
I've tried the HT part number in the google, and no luck. Tried searching through McMaster as well.
I have about 10 or so that we either rusted or broke, and will need to be replaced.
Thanks,
Mark

Answering my own question.
It looks like this will work, but just cut down the coarse threaded side.

We have a good fastener supply house in town, I took a sample down to them and had them order the correct ones for me.
