Imperial Countersunk Bolts?
Ferrino - 30/11/05 at 12:54 AM

Is it possible to get UNF/UNC countersunk bolts (ie. with socket head)? If so, where - been trawling the web and found zilch?

I've only seen imperial countersunk screws (ie. single screwdriver slot in head) so far..... Specifically after 1/4".

Thanks

That's because countersunk refers to the type of holes the fasteners go into, not the fasteners themselves.
What you should be searching for are FHSS - Flat Head Socket Screws.

Yes, I have got some 1/4 UNF countersunk head, hex key, bolts for my NATO tow hitch from my local fastener place. They may have some.

I sent you u2u about contact details.
