Default Some help finding replacement nuts and bolts



"Jeremy Pope" wrote in message
...
I have some garden furniture which is deficient in bolts and so have 3

good
chairs and 1 with no arms. I have taken some pictures of the bolts I

need,
along with their dimensions as depicted with a metric rule.

I wonder if anyone here can suggest where I may be able to get some
replacements.

Any useful information like what the name of these particular bolts are
would be very useful.


The only thing that looks 'special' about them is the head- looks like a
flat caphead for an allan key.

Unless that is critical to you then I would take a couple down to the local
(old fashioned) hardware shop (or even B&Q) and find something the same size
with a slot or X head.

Find a nut to fit the bolts you have and then use it as a gauge to find the
correct thread.

Brian
