Ummm.. Eagle Hardware sells them arround here in Utah. I think Home Depot does
too, but I don't remember since HD is further away from me. ;) Eagle has bolts,
all-thread rod, nuts, washers, and acorn nuts. I built my safety gaps with
some. They work perfectly fine. All 1/4". If you really can't find any locally
you could order some online I'm sure.. Or I guess I could ship them to you. But
I think you will find they are available locally if you look hard enough.

I've never seen copper, except for split bolts in the electrical section. But
brass is easy. ;)
