Imperial fasteners - suppliers ?
Much as I always like to save the odd pfennig or three, it seems desirable to replace all the crummy old imperial bolts when I start reassembling the
Sylva (now a bare chassis awaiting blasting.)
Any recommended suppliers for buying a sort of jumbo selection box of imperial sized fasteners ?
where I get to choose a new fastener on any of the altered bits, I've went all avant garde and chosen metric stuff.
There's nothing better than a car assembled from a variety of metric / UNC / UNF / WTF fasteners.

I got a big bag of HT UNF from Namrick

They also do BSF, UNC, BSW. No WTF though

I'm rebuilding one of the forklifts at work, its a 1978 Cat V150, the Perkins engine is UNF/UNC, the tranny is metric/metric fine and the
chassis is an eclectic mix of the two. All the bolts were segregated, until they reached the washer bath where they all got tipped in together.
DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!
