    Looking for a Source for the sliding slot bolt used on the Durant Mirror

    Does anyone have a source for the slotted bolt that slides on the Durant mirror?

    I was looking a few months ago and finally ended up making one. NLA as far as I know. Someone should make them. I'd buy 20.

    Very easily made with a bolt and a small grinder

    I just thought there must be a source since most of the new repro Durant's have them.

    I’ll give this a shot:

    Overall length = 24mm
    Length of threads = 20mm
    Width of threads = 5.75mm
    Width of hex head = 10mm
    Width of notch in hex head = 7mm
    Depth of notch in hex head = 2.75mm
    Material = galvanized steel

    Good luck,
