Bob 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. Mike Card TC8233, TC 9477 Surrey UK

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 Bob Butson wrote:

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) TC 5850

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.
