Stainless Screws at a fair price.

[Hightower]

I've been looking around for a local dealer that'll sell me fixings in a small quantity at a resonable price, I've failed so far.

All the local Chandleries seem to sell those pre-packed screws at ridiculous prices (two M4 nylocs for £1.45 ). The bigger suppliers only seem to be interested in selling with minimum quantities.

Anyone got an Idea on who I could use?

S/S trade place, A27 in Portchester opposite discount Pine furniture store. Drive into small industrial estate on your left at the traffic lights. They sell S/S by weight. Min order is £5 so take a shopping list.

Cool, I'm making quite a long shopping list and they're for all the things I know I need now! I'll have to project ahead for those other fittings.

Thanks Pete, any Idea what they're called?

The place Pete is talking about is called:-

PRIORITY METALS & FASTENERS LTD

I have used them lots of times, they are very good, and will sell in as big or small quantities as you want.
I once brought 2 Imperial A4 SS Nuts from them.

I'd avoid lunchtime.

If I remember correctly they sometimes shut the counter for for an hour lunchtime if they are short of staff.

Note taken, thanks
