Where to Get Big Hardware?

a little ot...
i once held (with both hands) a connecting rod bearing cap nut from a locomotive, it was 5" across flat to flat and must have weighed 40+ lbs
 
Will, try contacting a heavy equipment repair shop in your area. I have gotten a few from a nearby shop a few years ago and had to clean it up but they were going to discard them anyway. No guarantees but it may be worth a shot.
 
If you have a wind farm anywhere around, maybe check with them. Those towers have some nice size nuts around the base. I got some surplus torque wrenches from a turbine support company - I can torque a nut accurately to 600 ft/lbs.
 
Thanks for all the suggestions fellas! I'll be sure to look into them.

I would rather not have to pay for shippkng on top, looking for somethi g that wouldn't fit in a large flat rate, well not the bolt anyway.

I don't believe you until you post a pic on how big your nuts are!
