Drew400:
Hello all,

I'd like to get hold of a box of nice clean shiny new washers, bolts, set screws, etc. All the kind of stuff that fits (or can be made to fit) every Jap bike ever made.

Does anyone know of a good supplier of such stuff? I'm sure that'd be cheaper than seeking out 'spares' and will do the job just as well. In the meantime, I'm wire brushing every single washer I have removed from the bike... along with most of the skin off my fingers!

Ta all,

D.

Trigger:
Drew, to clean up old nuts, bolts and washers. Make a tumbler with blasting media in it. 
I have used a old Kenwood mixer with media in many years ago. Had the bread attachment on slow speed. Cheaper that buying all new nuts & bolts.

UK Pete:
Lots of restorers take the job lot of nuts bolts and screws from a restoration bike and have then re-zinc plated, about sixty quid i think

Where in the south west are you? Welland stem fair 25,26,27th this month near Upton on Severn will have lots of stalls selling what you want. probably Greta Dorset at Blandford Forum later on as well

Drew400:
Thank you all.

I failed to mention that many of my old bits have been bashed, lost threads, lost screw heads, etc. and so not worth re-plating. I'll check out the suppliers mentioned and also consider other trade fairs, jumbles, etc.

I'll have quite a few such items in my old jam jars, but you can guarantee I won't have a full set of any of them!

Cheers,

D.
