Bolts that hold the grill frame to the car

When I removed my grill frame from the car I had to grind off the bolts to keep from twisting the frame up while trying to turn the nuts.  Then the problem was finding nuts to co in that looked somewhat the same.  I know you can just use ordinary nuts and bolts but I found these at Lowes.  They're called elevator bolts.  Nice wide head for welding in place.  Just thought I'd share.

The bolts do have a square shaft just below the head, but due to the thickness of the frame metal plus the thickness of the fender and maybe a washer, it works out OK.

I never knew about elevator bolts until about two months ago.
Man those heads are big. I was going to use these style bolts for my seat tracks.
Previous owner hacked the originals off to put longer studs thru due to their rising of the
driver seat using wooden blocks between the floor boards and seat tracks.
Brilliant huh  :brickwall: :brickwall: :brickwall:

Decoded to go with high grade carriage bolts instead.
