Owen Posted April 25, 2011 #1 Posted April 25, 2011 I am trying to identify a bolt with a pivot pin in the center that allows it to hinge 90º either direction. What's it called? I can't seem to find them... Any help?
denisadam Posted April 25, 2011 #2 Posted April 25, 2011 I think what you're talking about is a ball joint. Denis:)
bongobobny Posted April 25, 2011 #3 Posted April 25, 2011 Uhhhh, a thingamajig?? Sorry Owen, I just couldn't resist!
BuddyRich Posted April 25, 2011 #4 Posted April 25, 2011 A Pivot Pin Bolt ? Shoulder Bolt http://www.mightybolt.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/S/t/StripperBolt7_75.jpg
Owen Posted April 26, 2011 Author #6 Posted April 26, 2011 Not very descriptive, am I? Picture a length of all-thread with a single pivot pin in the center that allows it to angle 90º either direction like a hinge...
ragtop69gs Posted April 26, 2011 #7 Posted April 26, 2011 I think it's called a hallucination ! Never seen such a beast. What's the application?

Houston Nut and Bolt used to have specialty fasteners, not sure if they still do.. they over there on Hempstead and I think Pinemont.. What are you using them for? Good luck, K

Good luck, K I'm looking for 3/8 to 1/2 inch thread dia. The application is super secret... at least until I can make it work!
