Does anyone know of a source for hollow carriage bolts? They may be common but I sure can't find them locally. Photo 1 Photo 2 thanks much, Chris

I could probably drill it out by hand if I have to, but it would look cleaner if I can find them somewhere and I want them to look factory. Either that or I can try to convince my wife I need a drill press for Christmas!

Find someone who does and bring the rest of the project along to show and tell, if your machinist is interested and impressed by your work; his work on such a simple job may be cheaper or free.
