Hi All.

I am not sure if this is the right section for this but I will ask anyway. I am looking for a bolt that pivots midway like a hinge. I have seen them before but I don't know what they are called and cannot find any on-line. Alternatively does anyone know of a pivoting pipe?

Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

Mark.

I haven't heard of such a bolt, but I'll snoop around. About the pipe... do you mean pivot like a hinge, or swivel?

Something like the pic above except threaded on both ends so I can attach a nut. Something around the M4 size Would be perfect.
