Title: Need Help Finding a Bolt...
Post by: corey on May 21, 2009, 07:51:17 AM
It's a button head metric screw... But i'm willing to settle for a simple old hexhead screw...
I can't seem to find them ANYWHERE. I need like 4 or 8...
M8 x 1.0 - 16mm long...
Thats a FINE thread M8 bolt... 16mm long.... i think a 12mm long one would work too...
Anyone know where i can pick some up????

McMaster Carr and Fastenal both carry fine thread M8. I doubt you will be able to find button heads though.

Well as in the other thread, there is a shop near by that specializes in bolts (actually its fastenal and they are just a 2 blocks from my house)

they carry fine thread, but not on hand. if you and G force want me to ask for you i could throw it all in one order and have it by tomorrow morning and ship it to you guys.

You'll be paying like $9 bucks in fees and taxes for 1 little bolt though, so it would be a good idea to order some SS rotor bolts :) ill be passing by there around 3-4pm, its 12:15 right now so PM me if you want me to ask for you both,

g force not sure if you still wnat me to ask for you since someone else posted that link.

Hey Corey, I'm in your neck of the woods and might have a solution for you. Shoot me a PM and let me know what type of application you would need the bolts.

He man,
These are a couple bolts that are holding my Zard cans on that have decided it would be okay to randomly back out and disappear... Despite my bests attempts with loctite and torque..
I had a couple backups that are in there now, and i doubt they'll be going anywhere again, but I'm trying to get a couple more just in case. I have a few coming in to Fastenal down on Smallman St., but I'd love to hear what you have lined up for my future needs.

Also, since i can't think of anyone else that would go by "Spain," live in Pittsburgh, and have a 695... Keri says hi!

Awesome, give Keri a what's up as well. For future reference, if you need any bolts I have upgraded everything to stainless or titanium and have a few good places to look for hardware as well as a good collection.
