figured out a new plan just going to use these existion eye bolts but the bar in half use a tap and die kit on it and thread in a 2 in adjuster stud in the center

just checked fastenal 16miles from here may have to run down tommorow

Grainger and McMaster-Carr might be good sources.

You said you found this on an Achieva?


I have an Achieva sitting around.

I had a 94 2 door SC achevia..never saw a bolt like that

this is from aftermarket strut tower brace its the adustment bolt

and yes i found it on a archevia in a junkyard

Bill, you have everything sitting around.

could also use a hood pin bolt.

this isnt a problem anymore the stb is now laying in my car in 2 peices going to tap it and make it adjust able at the center

this is a threaded turnbuckle pivot anchor used for sailboat main mast tensioning.
mostly it would be used to allow slight variations on a straight line pull not designed for off axis load of more than 8 degrees...

these things snap and crack oftan so dont rely on this for more than 2 years in salt water.

im sure it can be used in many places but this is 304 stainless as indicated by the rust stains in the threads. so most likly this is from a sailboat. can also be used in pole line kits for electral power line rigging but they usually use zinc coated stuff...

yea thats it.
