    Re: Thread thread

    Hope this is the right place but where are you lot getting all your fasteners from?

    There's a load of stuff on ebay but I've got a load to get and I'd like to get them all in one place/pay for one lot of p&p.

    While I'm at it, does anyboy know what grade the 7/16 and 3/8 UNCs are that bolt calipers to struts and discs to hubs (respectively) on Capris, Escorts etc? All I can find on ebay is 8.8 and I'm not sure I can believe that, especially being as that's a metric grade.

    Cheers in advance, Jim

    I get most of my fasteners from one of three local engineers merchants. There are plenty of them around where I live.

    It is getting difficult to find decent imperial fasteners, a lot of them seem to be ungraded and made of monkey metal.

    Yeah, that or you've got to buy boxes of 200. Anyway, I found this lot in Hove were pretty reasonable and had everything I was after. Not especially cheap though.

    http://www.namrick.co.uk/

    All 12.9 (or grade 10) capheads so maybe a touch too strong but I'll see how I go. Of course, since then I've found nearly everything I was after lying around here at work.

    Yes the bolt into the bottom of the chassis rail holding the x member to the body please and the ones that hold the anti roll bar to the front of the shell they bolt into the captive nuts on the front pannel.

    Good idea putting it in one place. Would be a great idea if someone could be bothered to build a Database with all the information that gets passed around on some of these forums.
