Can any wise /diy/ers help me identify this?
It appears to be a two-part machine bolt that is designed to screw together. It's made from A2 stainless (both bolt heads are stamped as such) which suggests it's manufactured part rather than a modification. No witness marks or obvious post machining.
It's been running as a hinge inside needle roller bearings and would be a super useful thing to have access to for some of my other projects but I've never seen anything like it before. Any ideas?

It is kind of like a sex bolt. Picture related. That is probably not quite right, though. That thing is on another level.

two large bolts, cut down and threaded on a lathe.
not an off-the-shelf part.

Nah. Can't be. You'd have to turn it below the minor diameter to clean up. It obviously still has a shoulder close to normal socket head cap screw size.

I don't see why it couldn't be a one of a kind chop job.
