Roger,  As a volunteer I do some restoration work for a farm museum and  
I have found no source for square headed bolts, except at farm auctions 
and flea markets.  If you only need a few, you can cut the size of 
the head out of metal the same size, bore a hole to fit the bolt and then 
weld the head on the bolt. You can do the same for the nut if you can cut 
the threads.  Nuts are easier to find, and you can grind cut off the 
other head, and grind and then weld the square nut on top.  I used this 
method in restoring a sorgum mill.

I probably have 50 or 60 different sizes of square headed bolts.  Send me 
the sizes you need and I will check mine.  Send to:  [email-masked]

If looking just for nuts, remember there are more than one thread size.

Dear Roger and Page,

> does anyone know a source for square headed bolts,and/or unplated bolts?

Warren Fasteners sells and manufactures both unplated and plated
hardware. They will also make hardware to your specs. I don't know if
they carry square headed stuff, but they claim to be very affordable
on custom work.

You can get their address and phone from the ArtMetal Resource list. I
cannot repeating the address here, as the server machine is down and I
can't reach ArtMetal. If you don't have www access, write me and I
will post the address when the machine comes up.
