Need a nut
 

Does anyone know of a cheap online supplier for nuts ?

Basically I was changing my rear light cluster on my car as some little
idiot decided to smash it. It attached with 3 nuts and using a 8mm socket to
get them off. I managed to get 2 of them off and dropped the third into the
bodywork lost forever!

Now what I'm after is a replacement. I live in a remote area so popping to
local diy stores is a lengthy process so if anyone knows of a online
supplier who would be happy to sell a single nut would be handy ?

I assume its a 8mm nut as I used a 8mm socket to get it out.

.... just typical as soon as I get into a diy mood I start losing nuts! ... I
was doing so well untill I get all thumbs.

Thanks

It might be 8mm on the outside but its internal threading is what's
critical to get right. Is it M5 or what?

Yes, an 8mm spanner size nut is an M5. Ask on UK.rec.models.engineering and
someone will probably pop one in an envelope for you. Can't see an online
bolt supplier wanting to sell you a single nut.

You got any old videos knock about? ruage the garage for scrap ites that you

If I was a supplier I certainly would not sell just one nut...sheesh! it
would'nt even be worth the hassle thinking about it.

ffs - you need to get a life - never mind about a nut.

If you find anywhere who will sell you just one - I suggest you get a
1 inch nail as well just in case you need one in the future.

(On the other hand - if you are a troll - not bad - you got me ;-)

Sometimes that works the other way around
like the time I was doing a job in a little village somewhere in
Wales and I needed some cable clips for 3 pair telephone wire.
I go a few doors down to the local ironmongers / hardware store
and she had excatly the clips I wanted.
Just one box should do it I said
You want the whole box? was the surprised reply,
I normally sell them at 4p each.
She then proceeded to count the contents of the box.

You buy nuts and bolts by the thread size which isn't the same as the
spanner one. IIRC, you want a 5mm nut.

You'll pay dearly for this one nut if mail order. Most mail order firms
have a minimum order value and minimum carriage charge, so I'd say you
might be lucky to get one for much less than a tenner or so - Screwfix
price for 1000 including postage.

huh ... I'm not a troll or any other creature that lives under bridges!

Why bother buying a pack of nuts that I will never ever use ? obviously the
link pete gave in his post have a supplier selling just one, must be a
demand. If I bought a pack it would just sit around taking up space and most
likly end up in a bin.

I don't need any nails, besides its hard finding one nail these days ;-p

Thanks for the kind offer but I didn't read further down and ordered from
the link in Petes post.

Thanks anyway though.
