Square bend bolt sources

Do you mean J-bolts?

Or U-bolts or L-bolts

do not know where you live, but there is a nationwide chain called fastenal, they specialize in bolts and fasteners, might be a local source for you. check in the local yellow pages for the local store. The bolts you are looking for, how are they used, do not recognize the the name that you are calling them, are you talking about a square bend u bolt?

Just WHAT is a "square bend" bolt ???? ...lew...

Thank you all for your responses. From what I uncovered (on the net) that's what they're called. Basically, they're like a U-bolt but with

90 degree bends to anchor square/rectangular tubing. The application is a boat trailer. Have a great holiday!

I should have mentioned I've checked most of the boat sites. they seem to only stock a few sizes (and usually nothing > than 3/8"). I'm replacing just about everyone one (and they are varying sizes). I thought maybe someone knew of a place that would cover the whole 9, instead of buying from several sources. Thanks again.

U-bolts aren't all round, there are square ones too.

U-bolts are used by spring shops, but they're usually not galvanized. They'd surely know where to find some, though, I'd bet.

I noticed some at Tractor Supply Company recently. They also carry wheels, axles, and fenders for trailers.

How much in hurry are you to do this? you might spend ages look ing for the "right "sized ubolts when it might be more economical to use ordinary bolts and flat plates drilled to take the bolt sizes you need. Just a thought

Try contacting a company called "Nuty Bolts and Screws" in Hesperia, CA. I know they deal in them because I saw them the last time I was there.
