    Default Need to find a bolt....

    I'm looking for a 5/8"-27 thread bolt to fit an old microphone I'm restoring.

    I'm wanting to make a custom stand for it so if I can find a bolt that will thread into it, I can weld the stand to that.

    5/8"-27 is standard mic stand thread, any boom or column will have that thread.

    I know nothing about this stuff...just redoing a Mic for my wifes rock n roll room.

    I was wanting a bolt or threaded rod so I could weld it to the stand I make.... I guess the column is the rod from the base to the mic?
    Maybe I'll go to the local music shop and see what they have

    Unless you want something really odd, you can probably just find an off the shelf mic stand that will work good for you. One place where you can find a lot of older style models is your local pawn shops. If you want something to attach to what you already have, you can get a short extension or a gooseneck adapter from your local music shop.

    Ok.. thanks for the help.

    I actually am wanting to make something crazy, not a typical rod and base....just not sure what yet. I think I will go to the pawn shop, didn't think of that!

    You could always buy a die or have someone with a lathe spin one out for you if you can't find the shape/material you're looking for...
