Hello!
I just purchased 36” of T-track that’s supposed to accept any 1/4 - 20 t bolt. I also purchased a bag of 1/4 - 20 bolts. But for some reason the bolts don’t fit into the track. Am I missing something here? See pics

A picture of the bolt would help.
Did the bolts and track come from the same supplier? If so something is defective and a return would be in order.
Sometimes different suppliers have their own definition of "Universal" and a little fine tuning with a file or grinding wheel will clarify the miscommunication.

Thanks for your feedback. No, the bolts and track were from different suppliers. So as you said, their definition of universal may be different. I did grind one down and it now fits perfectly.

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, different suppliers, but I took the bolts to the grinder and they fit perfect now.
