What size bolt and what material?

Per the boat building books I have read, these are commonly made for the application - often by cutting rod stock to length and threading the ends.

Also, a fair selection of Silicon Bronze hardware can be found online such as http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/us ... onze+bolts
