Aluminum Rocker Trim - T-bolt question

CJ8LVR said:
Doug,
I've just decided to make some simple ones welding a bolt to some steel strips.
-Just not enough demand to go into production.
If you want some of these I've made, just let me know and I could probably do some more for you.

Jim,

That would be awesome Jim. Can you do enough to mount both sides? Let me know what you need, I can send $ via PayPal.
 
Ok Doug, you've got me a little confused.

You talking to me or Jim? I can make you a set if you need a set - just the cost of the steel, bolts, and shipping plus whatever else you think my time is worth. I'm already making a set so one more would be easier now while I'm in "production".

Sorry Jake, saw "Jim" and, well, you see what happened. :o

I was talking to you.
 
Gotcha Doug.
Tell you what, I've got to make a run to Lowe's and I'll just buy another stick of that steel strip I've been using and check the price on the bolts I bought at Fastenal in bulk and get back to you. One set, I believe is 6 on each side (12 total) with the front two a little longer to accomodate the turn out on the fender "flare".
That what you need, a whole set?

Sounds good to me...keep me posted.

Thank you
 
Steel was about $17 at Lowe's before tax.
Bolts, call it $3

Cut, clean up edges, weld, mail.
Your call.
Making some anyway. What's time? - We've all got plenty right. :rotfl:

Let me know when, and where to send the $.

Thanks Jake.
 
Will do.
I think I'll be able to find some time this weekend. We're off Monday so it's a 3 day weekend for me.
 
Ok Doug, got 'em done.
Just need to paint the bottoms tomorrow evening.

I'll pm you my paypal e-mail address - just send me an address where I can mail 'em.

Thanks Jake, PM sent.
They look great!!
 
Doug,
They went in the mail Friday.
I threw some nylock nuts on them for you.
You'll just need some washers and you should be good to go.

Thanks.
 
T bolts

I had a bunch made up. If interested still $5 each. I have both styles. Thanks Gary
 
Anyone still have the dimensions on one of these? I'm going to have to make a whole set soon but have nothing to go off of. Thanks!
 
Not what you asked for, but in case anyone is interested- Totally Stainless has the 12 piece set for $118 :eek:
 
I used elevator bolts....put them on the bench grinder to grind the head where it would slide in the rocker trim track... about $5.00 worth of bolts..
google elevator bolts...Fastenal has them... local hardware store may have them..that's where I picked mine up...
