I need 18mm bolts w/ nylock nuts to build some Toy shackles...

Anyone know a good place to find these?

(and I know 3/4" works, but not well enough IMHO since thats what I have now- too tight and drilling out bushings doesn't work too well)

heat up a 3/4" bolt and "melt" the bushing to the right size ...

Look up farm supply and you may hit paydirt also.

ABC supply downtown R street say between 27th and 28th. They also have lots of stainless and brass.

I haven't been there in a couple of years so I don't know if they are still there or not.


2710 R Street Ph # 452-700

Bought my 18mm hardware from:

Rainbow Bolt & Supply, Inc.

Riverside, CA 92801
Tel. 909.684.3870
fax. 909.781.0501

They were quick any relatively inexpensive.

There is one place that i was refered to buy the guys at blue collor. If ya call the could tell ya.
From what i remember if your heading north form Blue Collar hang a right onto highway 16 its down a mile or 2 on the left, just past the golf ball range place, i can't remember the name of the place, but i do remember ya pretty much gotta buy a full box of bolts, not just one or 2, but hay a box of 18mm could just have 6 bolts init??

Thay do have a huge supply of metric stuff and electrical.
