Just made an S-bolt today for my FABM and it seemed to me that the best =
way to do this was to take a piece of 1/4" stainless rod and bend it to =
the desired shape (7/8" offset) and length and then applying the threads =
with a 1/4-20 threading die. This is much stronger than starting with a =
piece of allthread.=20

Just my $.02
