L8-Nite Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hi Mike,I know what its like trying to find what you need here in the UK, The hardware stores onlyseem to carry rubbish from China nowadays.Anyway, I found a hand full of these, they are old stock and made of quality steel. I think they are 8mm or 5/16"If used with a hard grade of bolt, these should do the trick. If they will work for you, send me a PM and I'll mailyou what you need; no charge.Click on photo to enlarge.

michael.h.f.wilkinson Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 On the off chance it would work, I tried an M10, and it works. No damage on the screw thread is visible. Simple solution, but it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stub Mandrel Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Google 'steel pronged nut' M10 will be easier to source than 3/8". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No store here seems to stock them. I have seen places where you can order them online, but they either require me to buy 300 (bit much ), or they do allow me to order just one or two (for a very reasonable price of $0.10 apiece), but then charge $68 dollars shipping ( I kid you not!). Does anybody know of a good source in the UK rather than in the US. Isaac's of high wycombe, axminster of... axminster and b&q do them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybadger Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Ah, forgive me. I failed to check that they do them in 3/8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
