Halcyon Sex Bolt Replacement!

[Hoosier]

After coming by the local hardware store, I found out the exact size of Halcyon Sex Bolt.

Base nut: 1/4 X 5/16 As you see on the picture, it is the exact same size. They charge $2.50 including the tax each.... LOL~~~
Bolt: This is the hardest part. My local store doesn't have this kind of bolt.

McMater-Carr has these bolts and nuts.

But, they don't have the match the bolt for "1/4 X 5/16" base nut. The smallest size bolt they carry is "1/4 X 3/8." So you had better get ""1/4 X 3/8" base, too.

Here are the part numbers:

Base nuts:

1/4 X 5/16 (Halcyon Spec.): 9086A110, $11.33 pack of 10
1/4 X 3/8 (Alternative Spec.): 9086A111, $11.36 pack of 10

Bolt:
1/4 X 3/8, 91785A535 $11.40 pack of 100


I hope this will help.

Best,
Hoosier

Thanks for the info it'll be helpful if/when I lose one them. BTW, why do you think they're called sex bolts?

It's got male and female parts?

 

[Hoosier]

Yes, it is bolt and nut, so it is a whole 10 sets and 90 bolts.

You have to choose which one is a male or female in your perpective. LOL~~:05:

Well, get the long, cheap one, take a hack saw and cut the stupid thing to the correct length.

So what exactly are they for? Looks like you would attach a SMB/pad to a BP with them...close?

Exactly! And since their sex bolts (as opposed to ordinary nuts and bolts) you get to sing "I'm too sexy for my backpack too sexy for my backpack ...So sexy it hurts ...And I'm too sexy for Milan too sexy for Milan ... New York and Japan" (sung to the tune of
Right Said Fred).
