Source for seat hardware

Advice
#1

After reading some of the posts here I have decided to lower the seats in my OT Penobscot 16. I would like to drop them about 2 additional inches. To do so I will need stainless or brass bolts about 8 inches long.



Anyone know a source for seat bolts that long?

'E' together with threaded rods. Works fine.

Thanks for all your replies
I believe the threaded rod is the way I will go with this project because I also have not found any bolts longer han 6 inches.
