Low Head Socket Cap bolts

  1. Well.........I have searched eveywhere for a supplier of small quantity (50) Low Head Socket Cap BZP (or YBZP) M8 x 20 bolts...10.9 min strength.......

    ...anyone know where to get them?

    I can buy a box of 200 for an exorbitant price........but I don't need 200.

  2. Why do you need 10.9? I presume you are using these to hold your discs on. 12.9 is too brittle by the way.
     
  3. I have used these people for the last 15 years and they will sell you any quantity.
     
  4. Thanks Pete.................but I specifically want plated low head socket caps.

    The socket in most button head and flanged button head is pretty bl**dy useless and usually a Torx bit has to be bashed in to remove them.........even with new decent quality bits.........

    ......the stainless cheese versions, being worse.

    I'll keep searching and may have to get a box of 200.

  5. I have recently been buying socket head bolts for a little project i have and get pkts of 50 for less than £3 from screwfix.
    Low head, excellent stainless m4/5/6 .

    You cant complain at those prices.
     
  6. Screwfix have low head ones? (Not button head?) I couldn't find them.

  7. No, screwfix sell standard head bolts.

    I also found the button heads to be dreadful, and ended up having to chisel a few out.

    I think you'll just have to bite the bullet and buy 200.
    I'm sure you could easily package up the rest and sell them on ebay at an exhorbitant price!!
     
  8. ........Or give them away like you do your Wellnuts...........:wink:
     
  9. I nearly typed "works for me..." but didn't think many would appreciate the joke! :wink:
     
  10. Well, we all know you get them from Crash and Curry, so you can afford to give them away..........
     
  11. Where are you located Al? I have some in stock but only self colour I am afraid.
     
  12. Thanks TW...........I have the black self col (read 'rusty' for that), but guess I can paint them.
