OldTom Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Where are the best economical sources of nuts, bolts, washers and threaded rod of diameters from 1mm to 4mm? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I get mine direct from China on eBay. Apart from directly ordering specific sizes, kits of assorted sizes are available as spectacle repair kits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTom Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 Thanks for reply! I have looked at these, but you only seem to get quite short bolts in these kits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brack Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 For little screws I have used http://www.screw-shop.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISW Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 For my screws, nuts and bolts I use www.modelfixings.co.uk. I use them for size 0 and 1 screws (6.4 and 9.5mm) plus m2 and m3 nuts and bolts. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejstubbs Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Another vote here for modelfixings.co.uk. Not only they do screws, bolts, nuts and washers in all sorts of sizes (metric and US), shapes (i.e. head types: hex, button, cheesehead etc) and colours but they do tools (such as the tiny hex keys needed for tiny hex bolts) and all sorts of other good stuff. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTom Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) Thanks everyone really useful feedback. Now I just need to choose between BA and metric. Another minefield! Polybear, please excuse my not replying but I have been away. Regarding your question, I am looking for 10mm length bolts and 25mm length threaded rod. Hopefully I can source from the contacts above.

michl080 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 looks like all suppliers above start at about 2mm. If you need something smaller, you may want to look HERE. They start at M0.6 ! I guess the german language site is no problem if it is about nuts and bolts. Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
