Hornet - 15/2/05 at 09:30 PM

Guys

Lookin for a supplier up "Norf" that can supply 10 - 6mm mushroom head allen setscrews about 25mm long, and 12 - 5mm black mushroom head setscrews about 20mm long.
They are for stainless rear boot lid and fitting my black dash to the scuttle.
Any help out there.. or does anyone have any extra lying around?
Cheers H

Got all mine from there.

Remind me next week as i'm not in workshop till then, will post you the stainless ones FOC but you owe me a pint at a show sometime.
You will pick black ones up anywhere, but they will rust, sure you want black bolts ?

Can you paint stainless heads black ?

Thanks for info.. thanks for offer Jon
A pint at a show would be nice... look forward to meeting some time. I've u2'd my address.
With regards black.. was thinking of maybe sourcing some kinda alloy.
My other option would be to try 5mm stainless. If you've got them pop them in a bag and I'll but a pint and a pie

Could you use some black plastic numberplate bolts?

I won't use the black bolts, they rust very quickly - I ended up changing mine on my dash for stainless.

FWIW
I've always found bsr-aerotek and namrick useful for those nuts and bolts for the 'finishing touches'. Both have websites but watch out for postage charges as this can sometimes make it uneconomical.
Just realised how many finishing touches there are left!
