Socket head screws / bolts

[John78]

No. Not B&Q. I've just been to two their stores and they don't stock them. Halford's neither (at least not the one I went to this morning). Still looking for 25mm M6 cap screws meeself, so I'll try those links. Ta.

Bit late to the party but...

Stagonset are pretty expensive. I have spent quite a bit on stainless stuff in the past. Ebay has been cheaper

In case anybody wants a good deal on small quantities of stainless goods, the eBay shop, Tek Hardware, is about the best, massive stocks of all types, the only place I could obtain some of the old type penny washers in stainless, post free.

If you want some really cool lightweight aluminium ones, check out this motorbike supply site; Aluminium - Pro-Bolt - Titanium, Stainless Steel, Aluminium Fasteners & Motorcycle Bolts

Rolled threads and everything! I'm using them on the scope I'm building at the moment.

American astro equipment is often put together with imperial nuts and and bolts, BSW , BSF etc, this causes problems when you want to adapt or alter things, a good source for these products in stainless steel, and reasonably priced for small quantities, can be found at : stainlessautomotivefastnings.co.uk

For whitworth and metric socket head stainless steel bolts etc. Reasonable prices and quick delivery - www.custom-fasteners.co.uk/

I've bought lots of stuff from ScrewFix, mainly for the house but other things too. It's amazing what you can get from them. Quick delivery too.

We have a couple tractor and farm suppliers in the nearest town and they supply nuts, bolts, washers etc. in single quantities. Mainly galvanised steel. I'm thinking of getting some studding for my pier from them, though admitted SS would be better.

Better late than never??

A great source of these items is a local metric motorcycle shop. Most motorbikes (other than American manufactured) now use metric threads and most riders such as myself like to upgrade the standard bolts to an Allen head because they don't strip as easy as cheap hex head and they also greatly improve the aesthetics of the beast.

These bolts can also be acquired in a high tensile aluminium (alloy) from some bike shops and any go-kart sales/spares dealers. Most towns have a cycle sales or repair shop.

There's no point in me providing links as I'm in Australia and most members here seem to be from the UK but Google is always your friend.

Hope this helps!

I'll add another link:

Bentleys - www.aruncas.com

Found them excellent, good range of stainless, and good prices.

Namerick, The Nut and Bolt store on Portland Road, Hove East Sussex.

They sell all fixings individually.

Namrick - The Nut & Bolt Store

[Polar Bear]

These guys stock everything under the sun and I use them for all my projects and everything on the bass guitars I build.

Very inexpensive as well

I have recently been dealing with a company called "Grove Components" they deal with such as hard to come by UNC/UNF, BSF,Cycle, metric etc, in stainless threaded rod, cap screws, bolts and many other bits and pieces, involved in old British car restoration work.. A 12" lenght of 1/4" UNC threaded rod for my Barn Door project was very reasonably priced

You can check the quality of the stainless steal, the good stuff a magnet won't stick to it...

[Auntystatic]

The threads down the middle of the skywatcher dovetails are 1/4" UNC, standard camera tripod screw, I got my bolts off ebay as I only needed a few.

[Gina]

Yes, I got my stainless bolts from eBay too - good price and very quick delivery.
