anyone have a source. i want the allen key style or something along them lines. something prettier then out standard weightbolts from prather or atlas
My local Ace hardware has some nice black ones that use an Allen head. Real cheap too. Look nicer to me than the shiny ones from Atlas. :wink:

Very nice Bob. Now I'll have to try that. Thanks!:smile:
So these can be bought as a 3/8 -16 x ?"? Assuming I just add the length of my 2 bolts, the 1/8" or so of the empty bore, and the depth the bumper fills to come up with the length I need? Will the head fit snug inside the bore where my bumper was or will I have to modify it? Does anyone know the weight of these Im looking to bump up my cue a little in weight. More than 25g? My Capone butt weighs 15.20137 oz. with (2) 3/8 16 weight bolts 1 is 1 ½ " long and is 15 g or 0. 52905 oz the second is 1" long and 10g or 0,3527 oz.
so which will shine up better like bobs. also which will be heavier all being equalDave,
In the environment that a cue will see either 18-8 or 316, will work just fine. Due to the higher amounts of molybdenum in 18-8 increases the price. Also the grain structure of 18-8 does not lead itself to chip formation in turning operations, thus will not machine as well. 316 is an austenitic stainless steel, which will be much easier to machine than the martensitic 18-8. And unless you plan on playing pool on a sandy beach with salt spray, neither one will oxidize that much. Such is the beauty of the adherent ceramic oxide that forms on stainless. Sorry I can't help it, I'm a metallurgist.

If you order from the site I posted you have the option threaded all the way or not.
