A source fiir BSF thread 3/16 cup square bolts?

Nov 22, 2003 1 Replies

Does anybody know of a source of long coach bolts of the cup square type? I require a couple of 3 inch bolts with a 3/16th thread and a cup square head.



I need these to repair the airconditioning condensor fans on my Rover SD1. The bolts are thoroughly rotten and have already sheared on one of the two replacement fans I have been trying to recondition. I would like to get some replacement bolts rather than try something else such as a length of stud with nuts either end.



It seems to be impossible to find anything other than metric bolts, and nothing of this length in anything less than M6, which is far too big!



Any lead much appreciated.

I've got stacks of '3 inch' M5 coach bolts - M5 is 5.27mm shank or 0.2in.

3/16ths is approx 0.19in. The 'square' is approx 6mm.

I'm pretty certain B&Q warehouse stock them, or drop me your address and I'll send you a couple - only since it's for an SD1. ;-)
