Nuts and Bolts - Imperial
nilocp - 14/1/17 at 09:21 AM

I have reasonable quantities of UNF and UNC high tensile plated bolts in stock.

Off course these will not be the ones that you want, but you could give me a try! Some sizes there are loads, others not so many. Plain and nyloc nuts as well.

I need thread, length and quantity please, and then I can give you a price.

Cash on collection is best, Paypal is an option.

I know that you would probably have mentioned it if you had them, but, on the off chance, do you also have any BSF bolts?

nilocp - 14/1/17 at 10:30 AM

Steve, actually I do have a small quantity of BSF and BSW. But who uses any of those now??

Colin

fazerruss - 14/1/17 at 12:03 PM

Do you have any 1/2 inch bsf by about 3 inch long?

Hi Colin, I'm restoring an MG TC and to keep it as original as possible I need to use BSF. I have a fairly random selection of what I need to replace those that were either missing or un-usable when I stripped the car, which was a bit of a barn find. I'll send you a U2U with a list.

I think I need 7/16" UNF bolts for my harness mounts. Do you have any & if so, what sort of lengths do you have ?

Unless anyone knows otherwise ? I'm not sure what grade I need though.

nilocp - 15/1/17 at 06:15 PM

Yes they are 7/16unf. S or 8.8 grade is fine which is high tensile.

I will check sizes tomorrow

Colin

Andybarbet - 15/1/17 at 07:30 PM

Thanks - Colin

nilocp - 16/1/17 at 01:30 PM

Fazeruss I only have 2 off 1/2bsf X 4 bolts with a shoulder length of 3in.

Colin

nilocp - 16/1/17 at 01:32 PM

Andy I have 1in 1 1/4, 1 1/2 but most have shoulders . Do you need a bolt (with a shoulder) or a screw?

Colin

nilocp - 16/1/17 at 02:31 PM

Steve U2U sent, but cannot help I am afraid. Very difficult to find other than exact 1/4in increments, even for UNF and UNC now.

locost7-online.com - 16/1/17 at 06:50 PM

Have you got one of these

5/16 unf SAE Grade 5. 1¾" long. ¾" unthreaded. thanks with nyloc

And a couple of 7/16 unf nylocs nuts

John

Andybarbet - 16/1/17 at 07:10 PM

I need set screws & I reckon they need to be at least 2" +

I can measure my rollcage rail if you think you have any longer ones ? Thanks

nilocp - 16/1/17 at 07:21 PM

Andy, ok yes there are longer but I will have to check if I have long sets.

Just for interest, I work on a nuclear power station built in the 50's. All our fastenings are BSF or BSW. Our largest studs are 4" bsw approx 12ft long! But we are probably one of the last few places that use whitworth bolts in the uk. If you think metric is hard to remember bolt diameters and corresponding spanner size try remembering whitworth!

if I remember correctly, they changed whitworth spanner sizes to save 'material' as they were machined from bar.

nilocp - 17/1/17 at 12:24 PM

John yes I have the bolt and 7/16 nylocs, but I do have 7/16 metal locking nuts if you prefer.

Colin

nilocp - 17/1/17 at 12:29 PM

Fazeruss can you make do with unf instead of bsf? Reason being they are high tensile, bsf isn't and I have a better choice in sizes. I have nuts for both.

Colin

nilocp - 17/1/17 at 12:40 PM

Andy longest 7/16 unf sets I have are 1 1/2in. Will that work for you?

Colin

Andybarbet - 17/1/17 at 01:14 PM

Unfortunately not, I reckon my bushes on the rollbar are about 2" long & I think I need a bit longer on top of that.

Thanks for looking though :-)

nilocp - 22/1/17 at 12:56 PM

locost7-online.com do you still want the bolt and nuts you asked about?

Colin

Dudefladge - 25/1/17 at 04:12 PM

Hey Colin,

I sent you a U2U. Would you ship the fasteners to Germany?

Thanks.

Rob

nilocp - 25/1/17 at 04:18 PM

Yep will ship anywhere in the world

Colin

lmillin123 - 25/1/17 at 06:24 PM

Do you do 7/16 x5" long? Only need 4 with nuts and washers if poss.

nilocp - 26/1/17 at 11:19 AM

7/16 X 5? Sorry no only 6in.

Colin

lmillin123 - 26/1/17 at 01:13 PM

Could you tell me the thread length of the 6 inch please

nilocp - 26/1/17 at 03:34 PM

Yes, it is 5ins I am afraid. Just enough room for a nut and washers. You could always cut more threads if you cannot find the correct one?

You've just made one step of my project TONS easier!!

A+ for Colin!!

Rob
