[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 526175, member: 24624"] Your local smith or machine shop should be able to make a large bolt like that. Aluminum would be easy to work with and lighter, but won't withstand a heavy duty cycle like stainless would. Because it's not your standard 60 deg thread, they may need to grind a tool bit to cut what almost appears to be square threads. But, that's no big deal. I have a lathe, but not a mill here at the house. You'll need a mill or something to cut the channel for the locking screw. ...assuming that's really required. You could possibly engineer an alternate locking mechanism that won't booger your threads. Also, one can only speculate about the top of the bolt that the rest affixes to unless you disassemble it and show pictures or a blueprint. -- richard [/QUOTE]
