Default Where to get 14b adapter plate allen bolt?

I need to get that m10 x 1.25 bolt for my WeirRacing adapter plate. Anybody have any idea where to get these at?

Do what I did, find yourself a allen head from one bolt, find yourself the M10x1.25. Chop both heads off of the bolts, take the allen head and weld it to the m10. Works great for me.
Rural King has a M10x1.25 bolt in there display, but doesnt have the allen head. Talk to Derrick and see if you can get one of his allen heads like I used. Derrick might also have the m10x1.25 thread pattern laying around on one of his millions of bolts. I think I found one in one of is boxes.

I believe Ive got a box of em around from when I put my adapter on. My buddy works at a fastener company and he hooked it up with a whole box. Ill send one to ya if you pay shipping.

I couldn't find the allen bolt either, so I took a normal hex head, tightened it down, then ground off whatever excess was still sticking up. It works, but I wouldn't recommend it if you plan on pulling things apart at any time.

I can find those almost anywhere I go. Hardware store, Fastenal, Work.

If push come to shove, buy an imperial one and run it through a die.

hardware stores.. atleast around me only have 1.5 pitch. (True Value/Ace)

I just tapped the 10x1.25 with a 10x1.5 tap. Works fine. No problems with thread stength.

Don't worry I had a hard time finding one. I got a lecture at Home Depot trying to get one from some old coot saying "this is hardware store, not a automotive store sonny." I wanted to break that ******'s hip after he said that. I just got somthing close and cross threaded that ****** and sold it! lol.

there is nothing worse than when I walk into home depot and ask for something fairly normal and they guy looks at me and says, "Nope we dont have anything like that." Really? Nothing? I cant find anything in this huge store of random ---- that will work for me? Friggin closed minded people. Improvise bitch!

These people blow my mind when I tell them what it's for and they act like I work at NASA or something. I'm like dude just gimme a bolt that will go in there! You've got a whole ------- section of bolts and not a single one has a same thread pitch? I wanted to bitch slap with my adapter thread after they couldn't find one for me. I looked before hand and didn't find ---- so I had to ask otherwise I'm pretty selfsafishent.(<nice spelling huh! lol :P)
