There are 3 flats per stud with a bit of radius between each flat - the radius may be throwing you off.

Triangulated shanks are the way to go in my opinion. I'll be setting up my mill to cut some for a race engine build in a few weeks. Here's the cross section layout for a 3/8" bolt/stud (below). Its a shame because I used to be able to just buy these ready made - can't find them anywhere now.

What would you sell a set to members of the Forum? Running a few sets off after you set up the mill should be cost effective for you and members. Put me down for a set. Perhaps some others will join in .... the more the better for all.

I'll keep you in mind. It could will a couple months. I'll think it over when the time comes and determine how much I would have to charge. I'm not sure I want to get into this because I only have a manual mill (not CNC). But its possible someone else could make them for me. It depends on if its cost effective and I'm already buried in work/projects. Right now I'm only making them for a couple top end race motors that I'm involved in.

I also tried some popular "Barge" contact cement but it started turning black at about 400F and lost its adhesion before the Pliobond. So far Pliobond is the winner and its the only HG sealer I'll use or recommend until I find something better.
