Thanks for all the replies I didnt read the rules either or I would have asked for PM's. Sorry guys I wasnt trying to step on any toes.
 
Where do you guys get your exposed polished weight bolts with the hex heads for bumperless cues?

Not really unique, you should be able to find them local where ever you are. I have found them a marine supplies where they sell a lot of SS. Also, many of the exposed bolts are not weight bolts. The weight may be more internal and the exposed bolt for a finished look. In other words, you may have an internal weight pin say 4" long threaded deep in the butt and a finish bolt 1" long at the butt cap.
 
I've never seen a cue with an exposed weight bolt. Anyone have a pic?

Heres 2 different ones.
 
Thanks for posting xianmacx, those look really cool. What keeps the butt cap from getting banged up? How about cutting a fat Oring groove on the flat face and pocket it with a touch of SG just to protect the bottom at least.

I've found McMaster Carr to have very good hardware pricing when buying on line.

The bottom one is a Tascarella and I play with it quite a bit. I have had no issue with damage. The buttcap material is extremely hard and Pete doesn't put finish on the flat bottom therefor there is nothing to really scratch up.

This question was asked in the wrong sub-forum. As logical as it would be to ask the question in "Ask the Cuemaker", for some reason it's frowned upon.

You can ask the question in the "Cue Machinery and Supplies" sub-section, as defined by it's header in the main forum front page..."All about cue machinery and supplies. Buy, sell and trade machinery and supplies."

The only stipulation is that wholesale sources are not divulged publicly, and I believe all pricing is to be private as well. Retail and public sources are to be allowed per Mr. Wilson:

Clarification: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showpost.php?p=2332572&postcount=27

I'd just link the whole thread, but it was ugly and took awhile for the clarification to come, so I'll spare that.

Regards,
Frank

"Ace is the place": How can that jingle be frowned upon hardware is even in the name I didn't know stating the obvious could cause any trouble
 
I just located the exact chrome Allen bolts used in my Tascarella. The store was 1/2 mile from my house this whole time...
