Bolts/Bearings needed

[supercarsimon]

Anybody have a trade supply business or contact for Nut/Bolt and Bearing supply??

For bearings I usually use Brammer or Bearing Traders td (BTL). Both I think are national.

I use Apex Fasteners in Slough but only because they are on the same estate that I work. There will be plenty of fasteners/fixings suppliers, depends where abouts you are.

Are you aware that cheap bearings are cheap for a reason?

I usually specify INA or SKF for bearings. If the bearings are imperial and neither of these brands are available, ask for similar quality.

hi there,
i use bearing man ltd (BML/HALEY)
not sure if their coverage is nationwide but they certainly cover the north, wales and the midlands. i get most of what i order same or next day (they work like an auto factors) with no delivery charge.
give them a try?

what sort of bearing & quantity are you after?

Bearing prices are hilarious. There is so much margin (/dealer sourcing skill) in them you wouldn't beleive. The guys we use now come in at about 1/3 the price that BSL used to give us, and we were buying around 500 bearings at a time, so not big, but not tiny numbers - and a 66% saving on 500 high quality bearings is worth shaking a stick at!

i know we get roughly 75% discount on the list price (RRP) but we never charge full price because I couldn't bring myself to charge £200 for a set of bearings.
i reckon i make between 30% and 45% on most of them.
