Apoligies if this is in the wrong place......

I'm looking for a resonable online supplier of Stainless Cap Head Set Screws.... i used to use Stagonset, but they have gone tits up... i want to tidy up some of the fixings on the Hardley and need to "pick and mix" various sizes with washers and bolts..... ideally i'm looing for a site where i can buy small quantities.... not "pack size 100" .....


Where do you guys recommend??

Cheers

An option yes, but ... The way eBay works I would need to make lots of small transactions...also... quality.. Loads of cheap tat... And not too many set screws from what I can see...more research required...

I have just finished a restoration of an R100GS-PD and bought my SS fasteners from eBay, and mostly from an assortment of suppliers. Lots of small purchasers too. Whatever was cheapest at the time.

However when the time comes to restoring my R100/7, I shall almost certainly go to Chris Shaw Engineering (www.shawstainless.co.uk) and get a complete set for the bike. Don't get hoodwinked into getting those 'complete sets' on eBay. You'll get hundreds of M4 screws and never use them.
