Supplier of 10-9 Bolts & Set screws ?
Can anyone point me in the direction of a supplier for some 10-9 Metric Fine thread bolts & set screws? They are for bolting the prop-shaft to
prop-shaft adapter & rear diff. Can't use Ford replacement Bolts cause I need them another 5mm longer to fit my Reverse Spur gear. Namrick
don't do 10-9 ( I live around the corner - thank god!).
Most places on the net only supply in bulk quantites.

Have you looked for 12.9 grade bolts?
There might be a wider choice although they'll likely be cap heads (not an issue).

^^^ what he said try 12.9 cap heads (alan key ones)
we use McLean Buchanan & Wilson at work all the time and potters as well
either of them will be able to get what you want

I've been looking out for a similar supplier too - Namrick unfortunately only do 8.8 grade bolts with hex heads. (I'm after hex heads
instead of cap heads so I can use lock tabs)
Anyone know if McLean Buchanan & Wilson or Potters will do mail order to non-trade customers? I'll give them a call tomorrow and see what
the set up is.

D'oh, I completely forgot - I tried MBW for some nuts and bolts before xmas, but they're trade only unfortunately! :-)
I've just discovered that the OEM prop bolts from a Sierra have a blue coating so I'll try to get them from Ford. Hopefully they can
supply caliper bolts too. Thanks for the kind offer, though! :-)

I should have a spare set somewhere - if I can find them....(my dax prop came with new cap heads)

What about namrick and use a 12.9 as this will be stronger than a 10.9
Someone will be along to say "stronger" is not the right description and say
"Actually it is Tensile strenght which is ..... Blah Blah Blah"
