Limb bolts

If I wanted to make my own takedown where would be the best place to buy limb bolts and all the bits. Wooden riser bow.
Thanks

Kart shops......sometimes lawmower shops have also....the pressure washers and the bolts.....you just need to source the inserts to attach the limbs to the riser....

When do you anticipate making the takedown bow?
Apart from the limb bolt kit it is advantageous to have drilling jig. You will also need a suitable tap and bottom tap.

I have a limb kit and all the gear on hand and I am located in Logan City.

If you are interested PM a contact number.

I'm hoping to start on it when something I have for sale sells. It will cover all my costs for the build. That might take a while with the way things are at the moment. People aren't spending a lot of money. Me included. I have found your builds on here very interesting and might hit you for tips along the way. My last attempt at bow was about 10 years ago and a complete failure. Thanks for your reply.
