I'm looking for a odd ball SS stud. It's 3/8-16 on one end and 7/16-20 on the other end. Its 3 7/8" long.

I've tried IMCO, Latham, Mcmaster-Carr, Grainger, and a few others. Even spoke to a couple of machine shops but they no longer do 1-offs.

It's used to attach the factory Fountain wing-plate to the rear cover of the driveshaft housing.

Thx in adv!

Humm, how abt boat wrecking yards? Anyone know of any that have old Fountains?

Finally found a machinist who does stuff on the side. I swear, these studs are abt as rare as hens teeth.

I did huge search a few days ago...I came up empty....but not like bolt/scrfew places list everything online.

Good to see you found someone.

Not saying they have what you want but these guys are good.

I spent all day Monday calling and emailing different companies I found online. Came up with nothing. Even the places that said they do custom orders weren't interested. Thx for the effort though.

I'll have to bookmark that totallystainless site. May come in handy when I get back around to tinkering with my cars.
