Hi all,

The bolt that holds on the drum of my cement mixer is damaged. It's an
M14 bolt, about 10cm long, but M14 appears to be a odd size (M12 or
M16, nothing in between) and I can't find anyone online or locally who
stock these in small quantities. Alternatively, an M14 stud and nut
would work equallywell. Does anyone know of any other source? I did
wonder whether certain sizes of masonry shield anchor might contain an
M14 bolt, but maybe they skip from M12 to M16 as well?


Lots of cars use M14 wheel bolts or studs/nuts. However, 10cm is
rather long for a wheel bolt or stud.

You should be able to get a local engineering workshop to make one up
for you at a reasonable price. Just give them the old one as a
pattern.
