FAO anyone in the bolts/fasteners game

[Stuart]

I need some fairly specific bolts.

Socket Head, 10.9 M10*1mm in 50mm*4, 40mm*2 and 60mm*2 lengths.

currently looking at £10-12 for the set, would like to pay less if possible lol.

They cannot be 8.8 or 12.9, and must be socket head (not the shallow socket heads like the unbrako ones lol)

If the price is good, I can shift 20-30 sets in no time so that could help sort a volume discount.

cheers

look up any local industrial fastener wholesalers, there will be one near you stu, but for a single set, that doesn't sound too bad. but its qty that matters with bolts.....
do you have any friendly mercedes dealership people in your circle of friends?? cos merc has their own version of din std fixings & when i worked at a merc unimog dealer back in the war, (1st gulf) we used them as a really useful oddball fastener supplier...

Can I ask why not 8.8 or 12.9?

Can do both of those, dont use 10.9 in work though;)

if 10.9 has been specced, then 10.9 it is.... 8.8 are too weak, 12.9 too strong, you'll have noticed he hasn't asked for nuts...

10 points.

12.9 is actually too weak lol... While they are uber tensile, they are also uber brittle and would NEVER use 12.9 for suspension bits.

Paul, I'll give them a go :)
