Anyone know where I can find the headless, barrel-style screws used to connect bimini rods to the joints?
The screws are about 3/4” long, and threaded to just under half the length, have a flathead screwdriver input, and are 1/4” X 28 (stainless). If necessary, I can upload a photo.
I have looked all over online, have tried West Marine, and have gone to a couple hardware stores, and so far, no luck.
I reached out the McMaster Carr, and I am waiting to hear back.
Other options include using a set screw with thread lock, or making one with a a Dremmel out of a hex bolt - can cut to length on both threaded and non-threaded ends, and then cut a screwdriver slot into the top. Should work.
