Look'en for a bolt

[Balor]

Hi fellow GJ'ers. I'm looking for a specialty bolt, one that will screw into a 2x4 with a portion that sticks out with machine treads that I can use for window protection. Any body have any ideas?

Look up hanger bolts. Should do what you need.

If you're going to leave them in the wall all year round, I recommend stainless, and a rubber cap to protect the threads. Otherwise you might not even be able to thread the wingnuts on when you need them.

Go the opposite way.. Use a EZ lok anchor. that way its flush when you dont have anything screwed into it. Much better than a lag screw/stud thingy.

We always referred to these as "Hanger Bolts", they have several applications when you are dealing with woodn boats and ships.
