Title: Where do i get a 9/16 Acme thread screw from
Post by: jabberwoki on May 29, 2019, 07:53:35 PM: My local super nut and bolt store, Tacoma screw only carries bigger stuff?

Of maybe a certain metal will kid from down south aways with mad lathe skills can add about 2 inches more thread?

You might have to get someone to cut that on a lathe for you.
