Carriage/Coach bolts in UK
« on: April 08, 2003, 04:00:01 pm »
Can anyone tell me a good place to buy carriage/coach bolts in the UK apart from Happ? I'd rather not use Happ for such a small item as they have a minimum order policy.

I can't seem to find any locally in a size smaller than M6 which is a bit large for most joystick mounting holes.

Also are there any differences between carriage bolts and coach bolts, or are the terms interchangeable?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I have had the same problem. I have been through all the DIY chains as well as the local independent harware stores. I have also searched the online harware retailers (screwfix direct etc) without any luck. I don't want to have to settle for those M6 bolts either. It does seem like happs europe is the only place. Let me know if you have any luck finding a supplier.
