Try Namrick at Brighton. 01273 779 864. Always have BSF in stock, all sizes you need for a T-type, and usually next day delivery by mail. Ask for a catalogue.
Namrick also does metric fine [XPAG] screws and nuts, BSF taps and dies, brake pipe items, and even 26 TPI cycle dies if you want to make the odd items noted on a recent thread on this list.
For your special metric stuff, of course, Roger Furneaux can supply, and also has unusual BSF items like the half-nuts for the brake drums.

hi Bob - there are many, but they might not want to bother with the smallish
quantities. I can usually supply anything you want at a good price by buying
hundreds at a time (quantity discount)
One thing that nobody has done, is list ALL the nuts-n-bolts on a TABC-type.
Any takers?
cheers
Roger

Ummmm, Roger, I have a list of all bolt sizes for a TC, by location, and
direction. Further, it was from disassembling a very original TC, so I could
tell whether the fasteners were cad plated or black oxide and which brand
was used. Of course, this varied from car to and even side to side on the
same car. Also, one TC in the TC5300 range had cad plated bolts holding the
firewall (bulkhead) onto the front of the body tub with no paint on them.
The two longer bolts that were attached later to hold the steering column
bracket underneath were not plated and, of course, those 2 use smaller
diameter washers under the bolt head.
Namrick is a good supplier of BSf fasteners for us Yanks. The price is right
but the shipping/handling they charge is about 4 times the actual postage
cost. We use Grove, as well, and they have a nice BA assortment and
reasonable shipping. tommm

Tommmmmm,
As you have already accumulated a list of the TC bolts by location, would you
be willing to share? While I understand the factory lads may have stuck their
hands in varying bolt bins during assembly, it would be nice to know what at
least one other car was like.
Thanks,
Doug (no "mmmmmm"s)

Dear Tom
Interesting thread this! (Yes, I hear the groan). Amazing - I was about to
start to make enquiries about fastener sets & then this pops up on the
billboard. Well, I moved my TC's (1, 1/2) & TA parts over to Perth,
W.Australia years ago (from Essex, U.K.) In the several moves since then I
have misplaced more fasteners than I care to think of. I'm about to attempt
to put Humpty Dumpty back together again so would be eternally grateful to
receive your fastener list. Do you need my postal address or can you send it
in file form?

Tom,
Is there any way you could share this information with us? I am working
on a basket case TC and have done the best I can so far on trying to put
it together, but not knowing what is the correct bolts has been a
problem. I don't know how many SAE bolts and nuts I have removed and
replace with what I hoped was the original.
Regards,
Charles Hill

I have updated my list of MPJG engine bolts, it is now complete except for
the dimensions of the water bypass bolts. These bolt the water bypass to the
thermostat housing. This is the same for TC and TD. I would be gratefull for
this information in order to complete the list. The list now includes all
studs used. I will send the list as a Word 2000 .doc file to all on request
when complete. Bob TA 0844 Wales UK 8C overcast.
