metric bolts

Post by jtdonovan » Wed Nov 17, 2010 10:19 pm

Hi,

I'm going to carry out an approved CofG launch hook modification to my Slingsby T21 Glider.

The mod specifies to use 8.8 HT metric bolts which you can get from many hardware/fastener suppliers.

Does anyone one know any reputable suppliers that could offer metric fasteners with some certification/traceability.

Cheers

John

This outfit might be able to help, we recently used them for HT metric bolts for an AMAX redrive. Look under 'fixings'.
