Default Anyone know where to buy very unusual sized bolts?

I am looking for an 8mm bolt with a .75 thread pitch. I need them about .5" long.

we have a place here in MD that can make whatever you need for a decent price.

You can try mcmastercarr. If they don't have it, they can get it. I once had these 12mm bolts with a VERY fine thread not to mention that they were also reverse thread and NOBODY could figure out where to get them(damn VW). I called mcmaster and they had them at my door in about a week with no "special item" charge.

Earl,

You might want to try Metric and Multistand Components at: May need to call them for "specials"

http://www.metricmcc.com/

Found you a grease fitting in that thread:

I kinda hunted around on mcmaster.com and found this: http://www.mcmaster.com/param/...40154

Not sure exactly what pitch the metric equilavent to 0.75 is but they might have what you were looking for
I hope I helped
Good luck Earl

might be helpful: found this on a list of materials for a jackson racing supercharger kit for a focus:

051-503 BOLT M8 X 0.75 X 10 WI PLUG

looks like 051-503 is the part number. try giving them a call, im sure they have extras.

No, I just cut the nozzle off and weld it shut. That seems to take care of it. Probably cheaper to get it welded than find the bolts.

Art is this the thread for the oil squirters?

BTW we could get the guy down the road to make a run on his screw machine... you guys want (QTY)100,000 or 1,000,000 of these bolts?
