Hardware questions..

[mtdriver]

You do want M3, if you pick that size on McMaster it should default to the common pitch (maybe thats all they sell, dont remember). It is more commmon to see a thread diameter by lengh listed on metric than thread diameter by pitch like American hardware. Also go with stainless, it isnt quite as strong, but will not rust and look good.

3x8,10,12 and 16mm are good sizes to start with, maybe some 20mm if youd like. Get some washers and locknuts too, standard nuts if you will weld/braze them to anything.

Have fun!

Also, try www.fastener-express.com I get most of my 3mm nuts and bolts from them. Not quite as fast as McMaster but cheaper.

1st off.....


a BIG... THANK YOU to all that contributed to this thread!!!

I appreciate ALL the help!!

I will go with the Stainless, I do agree... it looks better!

I'm going to shop around, I like McMaster for my racing hardware and Delrin but 100ct. packages is a bit much for me.... LOL!!
