Bolts needed & warning lamps

[Spanish Dave]

Hi all .... can anyone tell me of a UK supplier of small stainless bolts and nuts which would be suitable for fixing an Aston filler cap to the body of an AK? At present (before paint) I have fixed it with stainless screws ... it is very secure, but look under the back wheel arch and there are lots of pointy ends to be seen ... not good. The ones I need are posi/phillips drive with a countersunk head ... I also need some slightly smaller ones for the bonnet handles.
I have tried here in Spain, but no-one seems to have suitable bolts ... just screws.
Also I could do with a UK supplier of 12mm dash warning lights with the symbols on for brake, main beam and indicator ... I bought plain ones, and as the brake warning is needed with a symbol fo SVA, I thought I would like to keep them all the same.
Thanks in advance.

I've used Namerick a few times. They have a very large selection of every kind of fastener you can think of, not just nuts and bolts. Here is the link:

Hi Dave,
What you are looking for are machine screws, this could be where the confusion is. If it has a screwdriver head (Either slotted or pozi/philips) it is classed as a machine screw. If it has a hex head then it is classed as a bolt, which is usually threaded for the first 25mm, and if it is threaded along it's full length and has a hex head then it is a set screw!

As Mark says I've found Namerick to be one of the best suppliers. For your warning lamps I would recommend SVC http://www.s-v-c.co.uk/

I can also recommend Tek Hardware nearly 19000 sales and still 100% positive feed back

for the warning lights try:
Car building solutions
ETB
Vehicle wiring products

Hi ... thanks all ... I think the eBay guy Tek Hardware seems like my best bet.

Normally you should be able to find one near you unless you live in the middle of nowhere. Look in the yellow pages under Engineering supplies, Lloyd & Jones are quite a big company round by me but I don't know if the are national or not.
