Looking for BE1212 long screws for Big 50 Bald Eagle rest

I just went to the closest hardware store to me, but it is the most expensive and bought three 5/8-11x5" long, zinc plated carriage head bolts for I believe a little over $3 a piece. Simple, relatively cheap with a good enough knob to do the job. This shouldn't be this hard.

Where did you find a knob to fit those. No hardware store around me has anything like that.

Lol. I get it. You use the bolt head as the knob. That just might work.

Another option is to buy 5/8-11 threaded rod (all thread) and loctite these on the ends.

Cut the end off a 6” carriage bolt and put a threaded ball on it. Use the forum amazon link
