hi i was wondering where the best place on the internet would be to buy a heap of stainless steel 12mm and 10mm panel bolts for a ground up rebuild on my hj47 or even a kit that replaces every bolt

Thanks Shane Mulcahy

hi there Shane what you will find the essayist and cheapest way is to go down to a nut and bolt shop grab 200 12mm and 100 10mm stainless steel nuts bolts and washers make sure that you also get a big can of copper coat or never seize just to make sure that you can get the bolts out in the future. i found that there were no real kits available off the shelf when i put mine back together id just go down and buy 50 bolts and washers at a time i also would run a tap through each thread to make sure that there were no dramas

This is the best thing you can do especially when working on any old gear - been caught before :bad-words:
