I look at Mcmaster Carr : www.mcmastercarr.com

But there only had 1.5..

But they did have unthreaded eye bolts. If you have a die that was the right size you could make your own threads.. Only thing is I could not find anything in a metric size.. Check this out

Yeah forgot to mention I tried McM and Granger. I was thinking (like Bz) of trying to weld some.
I may call KHS in San Leandro on Monday. If they can't find it no one can.
Thanks guys.

it's also a way to make wing bolts.

clean them up on a grinder after welding and coat w/ palsti dip, they'll look factory.

Bolt hangers used for rock climbing anchors available at REI.
I bolted some down in various places using factory holes and they work great. Plenty of room for caribeaners or hooks, or both.

Stop in sometime, I have some spares you could look at or use for a while if you like.
