Unusual bolt from boat upholstery

[EFLImpudence]

Does anyone know where might be found what I would call a "T-bolt" although that seems to be the name of something different.

Namely a (~M5) bolt with the head the same as a T-nut.

Thanks.

Joyner bolt? Dunno if they come in M5 though.

Can you use a t nut at each end and run a bolt or threaded rod through them to pull tight ?

Edit...

Sorry, you seem asking for one with a threaded machine screw/rod connected? Do you need a t-nut at both ends? If yes why not purchase two and use a M5 machine screw with a dome or pan head and cut it to length?

More info might help.

Ah, great thank you - will investigate the sizes.

Not really. How would that work? Surely it wouldn't tighten.

Well, yes.

Because one end will be concealed inaccessible and must be prevented from rotating when tightened from the other end..

Coach bolt?

Tighten the "bolt head" end by using a large washer and nut at opposite end.

Once that end is tight, just tightening a bolt or rod will pull the other end tight.

But if 1 end is inaccessible then it won't work, and conventional coachbolt will

Coach bolt?

Yes, thanks. They have to go into plastic so might be able to use them.

It’s a T nut ( not bolt).

You can then fix to it using an M5 bolt.

Yes, I know but what I want and came out of the boat is (what I would have called) a T-bolt.

That is a (M5 x 50mm.) bolt with a T nut head.

We have some so they do exist.

Spread the load with big washers maybe

Do you have a photo of one?
