Looking for bolts

Miarka

Hi,

I need two bolts as per specification below:

Product details
Bolt Depot Product #: 1572
Units: US
Category: Machine screws
Diameter in inches: 0.1900"
Head style: Pan
Drive type: Phillips
Material: Steel
Plating: Zinc
Thread direction: Right hand
Thread density: Coarse
Diameter: #10
Thread count: 24
Length: 4"
Head height Min: 0.122"
Head height Max: 0.133"
Head diameter Min: 0.357"
Head diameter Max: 0.373"
Drive size: #2

most important diameter and thread(24), length more than 80mm

and this is the only one I've found to buy.

It wouldnt be a problem, but this is from USA boltdepot.com and they dont ship internationally.

So, there is my question:
1. What is the cheapest way to ship two bolts from USA to UK from this company?
2. Is there any way you know where to find those bolts in UK?

Many thanks for answers.

Most towns have a fixes and fastenings place, usually on an industrial estate, google for your nearest one and go ask.

Your local Wilkinsons, in the DIY section, will have something called "Pick and Mix" where you pay £1.99 for a small bag and £2.99 for a large one - each of which can be crammed full with various nuts, bolts, washers and screws from the selection. Almost certainly they'll have a bolt to accommodate your needs.

Sounds to me like a "coach bolt" with a screwdriver head on it, looking at your description - M8 x 80mm+ or, maybe M10 x 80mm+

I've checked with IKEA, B&Q, WICKS, WILKO, SCREFIX and few small fixes and fastening places in Milton Keynes - none of them have this bolts.

It's M5 bolt however its all about numbers of angles on thread. I've found M5 bolts with demanded length but thread was different.

As in my first post I need 24tpi coarsed thread.

Your bolt is a size 10 US Machine Thread. It is also described as UNC ie Unified Coarse Thread. If you look up Unified Thread Standards on Wikipedia you will find a full table of thread sizes for the US.
Hope this helps. You will need a specialised supplier for your needs I suspect.

Try some of the hobby sites, Someone could turn some down on a lathe quite easily.

M5 / MOD 0.8 is the closest standard metric size. Can you use a spare bolt to tap a new thread for an M5? Or even move upto an M6 or M8 ?

3/16 BSW is just about the same. UNC is not something generally found in Europe. A few on ebay but not in the length you want and the majority come from the states. 3/16 BSW threaded rod is available http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-16-1-4-5-16-3-8-1-2-BSW-Whitworth-Threaded-STEEL-Bar-8-12-lengths-/400386326680?pt=UK_DIY_Material_Nails_Fixing_MJ&var=&hash=item5d38e28098

You can get 3/16 UNC threaded rod from GWR Fasteners, up to 18 inches long.

Better known in the trade as a 10x24 NC


For a nut, any engineering workshop will give you one if you ask nicely :T
