Can anyone suggest somewhere to buy some 3/8 unc bolts? I'm after 4 about 4" long to bolt my engine to a stand, but everywhere I've tried so far have ended up about 15 quid or so seems steep to me for 4 bolts? Cheers mike

Cheers Dave, I actually found that after posting the question but I still think its a bit dear 2 quid per bolt, plus their stainless which won't help price, maybe I'm being too stingy!

or use rocker gear bolts.

or buy a length of 3/8" UNC threaded rod and nuts and cut as required.

But egay etc has most of that stuff.

Yes you can consider £2 a bolt sometimes as too expensive, £8 in total for 4.

But these days, how much would it cost to drive about trying to source locally, when you order online and they arrive at your door.
Most small stuff even if the purchase price seems dear, overall it still works out cheaper, and definitely handier

I'll have a look at namrick.
I thought of threaded rod but wasn't sure if it'd be strong enough, don't fancy the shearing and the whole thing crashing on the floor!

as long as it isnt a huge cast iron big block fully built up...I'm sure a little weedy Rover V8 wont pose any problems to threaded rod. ( as long as the threaded rod is steel and not wood lol )
