Are you sure it's actually a bolt? I'd expect it to be part of the 
pot metal casting, perhaps with threads cast in place to accept a 
nut. If it's actually a bolt, what material is it made of?

You probably showed me this part, but I don't remember it now. I do, 
however, remember talking about how to get the glass out of the SST 
shell.
