Where can I get this bolt?

[pmalavolti]

I need a m15-1.50 pitch flat socket head bolt. Any suggestions? These are for the ends of my dumbbell handles. I thought they were 5/8", but they are metric.

If you are in the San Diego area I would send you to Marshall’s Industrial Hardware.

McMaster-Carr if you do not have a proper local nuts and bolts place.

You sure it's M15? McMaster doesn't seem to carry that size.

Maybe? No idea what length you need. Kind of an odd size (to me anyway). If McMaster Carr or MSC Direct doesnt show it you might be on a hunt!

I once got desperate enough just go buy a 5/8 bolt from Homedepot and file it down to 15MM on a drill press and a file then re-tap to M15x1.5
Some VW MKIV wheel lug bolts are M15x1.5 (some not all) since there are few sizes apparently... and it's $20 a bolt...

This is one example of many, just google dumbell handle bolt.

Replacement Bolt And Washer For Dumbbell Handles

<p>The bolt and washer are used at the ends of the dumbbell handles that fit the standard plates. The washer is used as a retainer for the weighted plates used on the dumbbell handle. The washer keeps the plates from sliding off the end of the handle while the bolt holds the washer in place...

Fastenal is almost guaranteed to have it. They have never not had a weird bolt or but I needed.

I checked BelMetric and they do not have a 15mm socket head bolt. All they have is the one shown in a link several posts above. Are you sure it is 15mm? That is a really weird size metric bolt.

How about posting if you found a solution?

The GJ answer is....
Go buy a lathe and a mill
Machine yourself new billet stainless handles and use SAE fasteners.

Throw the old ones into the scrap bin where they can be cobbled into something else later

DIN (and Swedish SMS 2 ) screw standard. Normal thread does not exist in M15x1,5.
Fine Pitch (SMS 323) is available as M15x1,0
