High tensile steel M10 x 85/90 x 1.25 (metric fine) part-threaded cap screws - Allen key head in layman's terms. Mods please bare with me as there's no point in putting a 'wanted' ad in because it's a specialist item (going by the incredible difficulty finding any) and nobody would be advertising these because it's for a very specific job!

Bought some bigger discs from Brummie so have to fit spacers & so need some longer bolts, but turns out the threads to attach my callipers are metric fine! Brummie says it's the first he's come across with the longer bolts in metric fine, which does not surprise me in the slightest.

I'm told that to get some it's minimum order of 50 & I need them ASAP, so it's a long shot but just wondering if anyone has gone through this before and can offer any assistance?!?

Thanks!

This states in description that they're high tensile - worth checking first though...

Not cheap either!

I had great difficulty finding some metric fine nuts for the drop links in the winter, Astra building supplies in Newton abbot were the only ones who were able to help me. Worth a ring if none of the above can help. I'd be happy to pick them up and send them on if they can't post to you for some reason.

Try Kays fasteners in Ossett. Not too far to go to pick them up if they are in stock or I can pick them up for you. Their minimum order is just £2 if you go in the shop. I use them all the time.
