IIRC, in the bigger picture, the anchor rods for my TX-472
weren't all that expensive, direct from UST.  They are not
galvanized.

I was curious if McMaster had those.  The bolts I saw were
"low stength" and didn't comply with  ATSM F1554 Grade 55.

Google is pretty much one's friend when searcing for a supply
of the higher strength bolts.
