5/8" UNF bolts
David Jenkins - 19/1/09 at 01:16 PM

I need a couple of 5/8" UNF machine screws roughly 1" long. Not bothered about the type (ie. hex head, or socket cap head) or type of steel (stainless, HT or ordinary) and a bit of rust won't hurt either (I have a wire brush!). They'll only be used to hold a workpiece onto an angle bracket while I drill some holes.

Does anyone have one or two they don't need? Beer tokens available!

Alternatively, can someone point me to a supplier who won't sting me for a minimum charge and extortionate P&P?

I've a feeling I may have some, maybe a bit longer tho.. I'll check when I get back home the neet.

5/8"UNF was the size used to hold tow balls onto the tow bracket. Think they now use 16mm? Would they be any good? You may be able to get them from a car accesory shop?

It has to be 5/8 UNF - it has to match my stub axles...

...and you can now probably guess what I'm up to, Mel!

A cunning plan?
