    Ldub, not a bad idea at all. (not the thru the top one) Not sure if you looked at the link I sent for Fastenal. Right now they are on sale for 50 cents a piece. But, it's a 10/24, not 1/4 x 24.
    Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

    ...no, I didn't check the link first...

    That looks like it would work, & I would GUESS that tensile strength should be adequate...
    Though I have no idea what tensile strength is for 10-24 vs 1/4"-24...

    Nor do I, but have a few machinist books laying around that might tell me tensile strength, but then it would be a case of apple and oranges since I don't know what material is being used in each.

    Kind of a case of measuring it with a optical micrometer, marking it with a piece of chalk and cutting it with an ax

    That's always been one of my favorite methods...

    "If it ain't broke, fix it till it is", also comes to mind.

    Yes check with McMaster-Carr they have about anything you need and then some. I've been in Manufacturing for 20 years and have used them the whole time. And 1/4-28 is very common, and great for short/shallow nut's...

    1/4-20 guess you'd just need to see if you could buy a shorter one?

    on their website the 10-24 and the 1/4-20 have the same tensil strength (78000). Grade 5 which is probably what was used in the VehiX
