Owen Posted April 25, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 25, 2011 I am trying to identify a bolt with a pivot pin in the center that allows it to hinge 90º either direction. What's it called? I can't seem to find them... Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share #6 Posted April 26, 2011 Not very descriptive, am I? Picture a length of all-thread with a single pivot pin in the center that allows it to angle 90º either direction like a hinge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
