Bolt and Nuts - Google to the rescue!

Needed some old BSF and BSW bolts today, so I rang a few places that used to stock them to no avail - they're definitely much harder to find these days.

I checked Google and Thomas Smith Fasteners in Wigan came up. I was unable to find the ones I needed so I rang them.

Apparently they are one of only a few firms in the UK who still manufacture British Standard threadforms - and the chap on the phone said they used to supply a hero of mine - Fred Dibnah!

Bolts duly ordered, should be here in a few days. The guy on the phone was nice so I'll give them a nice free plug!

Their site is really interesting - check it out.
