Looking for Lowe Bimini Top Mount Screws

[wrburgess]

Someone stole two screws off my bimini top frame mount and I cannot find the replacement parts anywhere. I'm guessing they stole them because they are difficult to find.

Photos attached. I think they are called Chicago or "Sex" screws, but not sure. Basically, it's a 1-inch two-headed bolt with philips head type groves.

Pontoon is a Lowe SS210 2015.

Two headed bolt ?? Not sure I understand, a pic of the bolt/ nut itself might help.

I may have found something, not sure how to post the link. They are called female nuts, they look like a screw head but actually have a female thread for a bolt to thread into. They give the appearance of a screw with two heads. Made in SS but have hex socket heads rather than phillips head.

I think that's what it is... a barrel bolt (or a bunch of different names) that are rare, but findable online at various hardware sites.

None of the boat parts places seem to carry them.

I think they're called Cap bolts and barrel nuts..
