N.O.S. Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Andy - I reckon you're looking for csk bolts with the square shank underneath the head and no slot. Do a search for Plough bolts (or Plow bolts if you eat giant burgers and drove a CCKW in the war). They are available from 8mm dia. which is what you need (oh come on, who's going to know if they're metric or not? :cool2:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marvinthemartian Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 This what you're after Andy? Got these to do my rear woodwork when the cab is finished. Metric and threaded all the way, but no one sees the bit in the middle. Think they were cheaper too than shanked ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyFowler Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 The ones I removed from my locker body floor are like this mate ! Still looking for a straight forward supplier at the moment ! :nut: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvinthemartian Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I can honestly say I've not seen anything like that Andy, but I'll keep my eyes peeled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritineye Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) What about these, come in various sizes, I've used them and you can fill in the socket if you want, no one will know...specially after we have all stomped about up there having a look with our muddy boots on....http://m.screwfix.com/p/socket-countersunk-screws-a2-stainless-steel-m6-x-25mm-pack-of-50/37791 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited June 19, 2012 by gritineye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Bolts that hold teeth on digger buckets are like this and quite often imperial Normally a lot larger than 5/16" though ! The bolts that hold the canopy rails to hoops on Bedford MK, etc were about what you are looking for, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferret1958uk Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Call Arun Fasteners in West Sussex. I use them for all the weird and wonderful threads, sizes and oddities I need for the family collection of vehicles. As they are used heavily by classic car owners they are well used to getting odd requests for obscure stuff.

Simon Daymond Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 saw the late Fred Dibnah visit this firm whilst watching telly yesterday: http://www.smithbullough.com/products.html don't know anything about them or whether they'd welcome small orders, but worth knowing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyFowler Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Simon thank you for that , they mention plough bolts and have a photo of the correct ones in their products list so will ring them tomo !

Zero-Five-Two Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Yeah, they are next to the church. I work in Otford these days and we use them all the time for engineering supplies, bits of steel, and the occaisional bit of fabricating work.

AndyFowler Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Thanks Rob , rang them today a couple of times but unable to get through ! The "Fred Dibnah" suppliers don't have anything small enough but gave the number of their sister company who are getting back to me tomorrow ! If they can't help I'll try your suggestion again tomorrow ! :-D Just saw your AEC on the CCMV site here http://ccmv.aecsouthall.co.uk/p268914200/h39345cdc#h39345cdc ! Lovely photo ! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Well - if you win the lottery you could get them from a Caterpillar main dealer. 3/8 UNC x 2" part no. 4F4048. But unfortunately the head face has a very slightly domed profile. I'd be tempted to go with Gritineye's CSK Allen key cap screws and fill the hex recess in - I might even be tempted to dab a blob of weld on each head and grind off flush. Second thoughts there are just too many to contemplate that :-D. Also if wood shrinks it may be difficult to tighten the nut further.

N.O.S. Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Andy, if you do go the CSK Socket Screw route, try these folk - not far from you and you'll have a job top beat the prices (if you don't mind having Chinese fasteners on Daisy.......just nip that nut up a bit more :cheesy:). Galvanised £26 inc vat per 100, BZP £12 inc vat per 100 http://www.parkertools.co.uk/Form/FIX/CSS/ACS/Countersunk+Socket+Screws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
