Hi,
We use a local supplier here (North Hampshire, I believe they are in Yately)
who do small quantities of UNC type American screws, quite a bit of our
equipment is non metric. Can't remember the name but I can find out tomorrow
when I get back into work and post their details. They will do small (<100)
quantities, well they do for us anyway.
Best regards,
Mike Hatch

Subject: UK source of small UNC nuts and bolts?
This is classiccmp-related in that I am repairing an
old HP
'Multiprogrammer' (a modular input/output system for HP2100s, HPIB
machines, etc). While dismantling it I had one screw shear off and had to
drill out pop-rivets holding a heatsink to the side casting.
So waht I am looking for is a source of small UNC nuts and bolts in
reasonable quantites. 'Small' means 4-40, 6-32 and 8-32. I would be
looking for countersunk and pan head scewws, nuts, lockwashers, etc.
'Reasonable quantities' would be a bag of 100. These are not at all
common in the UK, we tend to use BA (older machines) or metric (M3/M4
sizes).
Does anyone know a company who can sypply these to the UK? Preferably one
based in the UK (to save on postage charges), but there's no real problem
with shipping a ag of nuts and bolts from anywhere.
