Drilled bolts
Anyone know where I can get drilled bolts from (if such things exist)
Basically an m6 bolt with a hole drilled down the middle so I can pass an electrical wire through the center of the bolt...
(not through the head, but through the actuall shaft...)
I cant realistically make them... I need about 1000 of the buggers...

Like Banjo Bolts or do you want the hole to go through the head AS WELL AS the shank?

What length/material ?
A google for "M6 hollow bolts" found a few results, mainly alloy for deraillier applications.

Incidentally, at $3 a bolt (that link above), it'd be far cheaper to get someone with a lathe to make up 1000 for you

I've just had 2 M10 bolts drilled on a lathe for the same reason. You have to remember that the drilled hole will not be plated.

if you need a bolt manf, I can put you in touch with someone, they make bolts in the UK, and a hole down the middle should be only a small
challenge.

What about getting some tube and running a DIE up it to thread the outside?

A bloke in the workshop next door said he would supply them at a £1.10 a bolt??

I can do them for you if you need them turned bud. We can discuss when you drop that jig back if you like.

I'm puzzled how anyone could quote this TBH...I don't see a bolt length, or the required hole diameter...both VERY important pieces of
info. for quoting 1000 parts.
For example an M6 x 15mm long with a 4mm hole would be way cheaper than an M6 x 75mm long with a 2mm hole....extreme examples but you see my
point...
Unless of course I missed that info. in which case this post is pointless.......
Also, as NigeEss says .....what material?...very significant info. too.

I'm not sure I'd like to drill a 4mm hole up a 6mm bolt. It doesn't leave you much margin for error. I take your point though.
