Metric bolts

[Ole_Hickory]

A couple of years ago someone posted an excellent link on a supplier of metric bolts and I have searched the TBN archives and I cannot come up with the proper keyword to find this link.
This was not a McMaster Carr etc. but this was a web link that deals exclusively in bolts etc. Would anyone know what the link or site would be ?
Thank you

Hi,

I don't recall that link in a thread....probably before I joined.

However this link floats pretty close to the top of the Google pool.

P.S. What's wrong with McMaster-Carr? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Nothing is wrong with McMaster Carr,I was just wanting to look at the specific site I seen a couple of years back.

But anyway thanks for the link.

In WI, I get all my metric fasteners from Fastenall. They even have a route truck that will drop off at my shop, even just for a bag of bolts. A link to their site. Their print catalog is about 3.5 inches thick. Lots of stuff, great counter people for hard to find stuff. Fastenall

I can make you a real good deal on 50,000 stainless steel, M3x0.5, 20 mm long, phillips head screws. LOL. Our supplier sent us the wrong lengths, and then sent us replacements, and then said "we don't want the other ones back". It was more to ship them back then the cost of the screws originally.

Actually, most we are just going to put into the stock bins as extras, or maybe I'll design them into something so we use them up. Otherwise, they will just become ebay items. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I appreciate the offer....but that may be a few more I would need in this lifetime. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I was doing a service to my tractor the other day & when reinstalling bolts/nuts, I thought I'd torque them & couldn't believe that the torque specs were either too hard to find in my manuals or non-existent. Has anyone seen a torque spec sheet for various metric & pipe thread fasteners ???

I believe that it is imperative that metric bolts be torqued to a specific Newton-Meter setting. They will not function properly if a Foot-Pound setting is used. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Torque Conversion:
Torque Calculator

Metric Torque Table:

Go to the Land Pride site. Open any of their operating manual's. Two or three pages from the back in all of them is a "Torque Values Chart for Common Bolt Sizes"

Land Pride Scarifier Manual


A lot of good fastener information:

Thanks for Info.
The Conversion Chart will be useful.
To elaborate further about my situation, as an example, the suction screen housing on my JD4210 has 2 metric bolts that are (I think) 8mm & had 10.9 on the head. My problem was that I couldn't find the torque spec & had to go to the generic information in the front of the manual.
