I post a topice about a week ago asking for some help on getting some bolt heads for a OIF humvee and no one know what I was talking about, so heres a pic to show what I'm talking about.


hope this clears things up, and I was wondering if anyone had some extra around that i could buy or trade with ya for about 8 of them. Thanks for everthing.

Why don't you make it from Hex rod . I guess you should be able to find a proper size for the bolt heads. After all, they will be close to invisible when the model is finished, or...?

Cheers

I've just added this detail to a Humvee I'm doing, plus some other bolts where the suspension arm.

considering what is visible when finished, it's a worthwhile addition, but simple rod is more than enough.

and wouldn't you need 16 in total? 4 at each spring?
