Nuts and Bolts

[Easy-X]

I stumbled across this site:

https://www.mrmegapack.co.uk/

They seem to have quite a nice selection of odd and sods, anyone used them?

Probably worth bookmarking if your doing a tart up
but caveat emptor

Out of idle curiosity I had alook to see what they offered for my old thing
and quickly found quite a few inaccuracies and unsuitable items which suggests
to me they're filling the listings with generalised stuff.

There may be bargains to be found but would suggest you shop and select carefully.
Also
There's no info of who and where they are or any useful contact info which I dont like much as it suggest mum's spare room
the site looks a bit cheap too but maybe that's me.

While I'm rantin on....

I have bolt list for my bike to show the type diameter pitch and length
of every bolt and screw used/needed.
( I've got ones for seals, bearings, alternatives etc)
Something like this is very useful when shopping and you may find it handy to start building your own dossier for your bike

For general stainless they arent cheap compared with a general ebay seller.

Take a m8 nut for example

Best way i've found with bikes and old Land Rovers is take the bolt in to a engineering shop and they will most likely have one.

Recenty had a pipe drilled and tapped right wierd arse size, m11, ultra fine, lh thread.
They ordered the taps in, did the job then gave me the original bill for the taps plus 3pints for the time. Bonus got a set of useless taps out of it.

I've not had a proper look yet but when sourcing special fasteners I use these:

If you know the fastener dimensions you can even select grades of hardness.

Yup with nuts and bolts you'll need to do a crash course in learning about them. It's not that difficult and is more time consuming than anything.
For my engine there are 'fixes' that need doing - one is internal and holds the sprag clutch to the flywheel. Some engines went out with 'soft' bolts which shear and the pieces then eat the stator and other parts. The fix is harder/stronger bolts. I was able to find them on the site I linked to just by measuring an original bolt. If I can do it then anyone can.
