re: Looks just like a 'plow bolt'
Thanks, but unless I'm looking at the wrong type of plow bolt, they
are not the same.
Compare the heads of the bolts in this picture. I need the flat head
to be flush with the surface when drawn tight. It looks like the plow
bolt would produce a result similiar to a carriage bolt - a bump if
the head is not drawn flush and an indentation around the head if it
is.

I may just go with the 50 piece order from Fastenal. I'm sure I'll
find a use for them once I have them. Cutting a long bolt down is
easier than stretching a short one.
