Metric Nuts & Bolts advice sought ?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I have a lifetimes accumulation of nuts, bolts, washers,spacers etc all A/F thread with even a few Whitworth & BSP.
Whenever I need a nut or bolt for the Honda I only have a selection I bought from Aldi few of which fit even though they are metric
E-bay sell SS selections for £45 !!.
Can anyone recommend a selection pack for my garage that would be useful in my time of need?
Johnny4428:
Sorry cant recommend, but make sure you get fine metric threads and not course, I have a good selection of course threaded bolts and nuts, but quite sure most of the bike stuff is fine.
Lynx:
Screwfix do a good selection of stainless steel fasteners at a good price. M8s have a 13mm head though.

I have just bought more today for a rebuild and also some other projects around the house.
And as always I ended up at ACCU - https://www.accu.co.uk/
What they don't have and I am after so apologies for hijacking the thread is the longer bolts for engine assembly. 6 x 80 + sizes in a BZP-10.9 grade or SS of similar
ka-ja:
Not being concerned about originality, I use 316 st/steel cap heads where possible, over a few years, if I have needed a few at a certain size, I have ordered a few extra, the same with nuts and washers, I now have a good reserve of spares, all arranged in a couple of partitioned carry boxes.
