Anyone know somewhere who will have stock of M10 metric fine thread bolts (1.25 pitch), only need 4 (Stainless steel would be nice) not a packet of 100 which the local nut& bolt suppliers want to order me (t'is a little wasteful really) 🙂
Oh it's for an solution to fix a disc brake mount onto a bike... so this is a bike related question.
I'd be very leary of fixing a disc mount to a bike that didn't come with them. If the frame's not designed for it you could end up in trouble...
http://www.wentinfasteners.co.uk/ in Yeovil probably sell them, i've had single nuts & bolts, etc, there before.
Sounds like you just need a better supplier local to you - one that sells them by weight would help!
molegrips, I have a mount made for M6 bolts, but the frame has M10-FT holes.. gunna chop/drill/thread the M10 bolts to made inserts for the frame.
T'is an engineer who suggest this fix.
...btw it's for a '98 Marin B17 frame, so disc brakes were fairly new at this stange of development (?).
D_R, cheers I'll try anyone, but to be fair Cromwell are a fairly large supplier and can get them in for me but only in a box of 100, a little more than I need.
tried ebay!!!
or even a little local hardware shop.
Try giving Brabbin and Rudd a call (Wigan based but I think they'll post them). The problem is the fine thread, I called round a lot of places and ended up just buying some rod and a die to cut my own thread lol.
coffeeking, do you have a M10 fine thread die by any chance then?
Any chance of a loaner?
Or who sold you the single die? I've only seen them as sets.
Not got it anymore, I "gave" it to my old place of work and now only have access to current works tools that I cant lend out-where abouts are you?

Give me your address and how long you want them and I should be able to sort you out.Definately M10 you didnt go by the spanner size? Just seems a bit over kill as most brake bolts are M6.

Would tend to agree with sturmey on the size issue, M10 is rear mech hanger bolt size - bigger than most ive seen on a bike.
i'm looking at these guys for replacement bolts for a couple of my bikes - obviously cant recommend as yet, but looks like they do all types of bolts in stainless, aluminum and titanium.

10 mm bolts seem ott
imo you should check a gain ( you didnt go by the spanner size?)
Probolt/Tasty Nut do some nice SS stuff
i'll have a look at work tomorrow, we mostly use ss.
feeling the love off this thread, really appreciating the help & offers, then again I'm just back from the pub and bit psihed.
Ok, obviously some of you aren't reading all the posts, so I do a little explaination again to bore you silly... 🙄
[b]I have a m8's Marin B17 a 1998 full-susser with M10 FT holes on the swinging arm, from around the at the start of the disc brake usage , [/b](hense why it isn't today's normal M6 size), engineer m8 used his thread checker gauges to confirm the spec (after he'd given me a normal M10, a whitworth & an old american bolt to try)[b],I have an adapter made from a Marin/ATB autocad drawing[/b] again sorted by my nice engineer m8[b] which fits just nicely onto a 160mm disc and looks to line up with the M10 bolt holes. BUT the adapter is designed for M6 bolts. So I need the M10 F-T bolts so that they can be drilled and tapped for a M6 bolt, have the heads cut off and this used as an insert (locktited in) to the swinging arm.[/b]
Simple eh?
will sober up and try to reply to some of the offers tomorrow.
err and Coffeeking, I'm in the stourbridge area, though travel to below oxford a couple of times a week if thats of any use.
😀

nice people too
sturmey/wors, any luck locating any before I start phoning round? 😉
(neither of you have email address listed, to mail you direct)
mmmmph my head hurts. 😳
sorry z1ppy, M6 is the largest we have.
My first proper MTB was a '98 Marin B17, so I understand the size and shape of the mount you need, M10 sounds right. Good luck.
Yes we do have M10 x 1.25 in stock email me with your requirements and I will sort you out just make a donation to the RNLI my chosen charity. paul.nutton@talktalk.net
ygm, cheers.
z1ppy I have you some bolts I will try to get them in the post today if not it will be saturday.
