Please Note: At this time we do NOT manufacture rigid or flexible staybolts for customers. This is because the type of steel required for these components is not readily available outside of a few vendors. If you are in need of staybolts or staybolt materials, Please contact Strasburg Mechanical Services or The Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. If a customer supplies us the correct materials we can work with you on a case by case basis to machine them to your specs. Thank you for your understanding on this matter.
