Can anone suggest where I might buy a couple of 2.5 metre long lengths
of (something like) M10 studding? I can find 1 metre lengths by the
dozen, but nothing longer.

I've found some at WDS Ltd. but they don't do 2.5 metre long
stainless and I'd really prefer stainless if I can find it.

Brilliant, thank you. I don't know why my search didn't find that.

The TLC price is only 10% of that, but probably not stainless.

In the 1970's, a little after the repairs had been done to York Minster
Tower we had a very entertaining talk at work from a guy from GKN, who
had supplied the fixings. I forget the details, but IIRC it was 1 inch
316 stainless studding which they could make in lengths of something
like two metres, with a number of lengths connected by simple sleeve
couplings. Something like two inch holes, with a counterbore at each end
for nuts and washers, filled with stone plugs. They were mostly if not
all horizontal, relying on the tensile force to hold together the cracks
caused by differential sinking of the four corners.

This was only part of the talk, we had a special interest in fasteners
at the time because they were rusting away in Magnox Power Stations.

Just for the record, now that suppliers have been found, when I needed
long lengths of stainless studding years ago, I found some ship's
chandlers in Liverpool that kept large stocks.
I've no idea if they are still there, but it was quite an interesting
place. Hidden amongst all the common things like bulk loo rolls etc.,
there were quite a few bits and pieces that, presumably, were aimed at
ships engineers, or good to have for a bodge repair at sea.

Were the Magnox fasteners made from stainless steel, yet still rusting?

No, they were mostly very boring low carbon and low alloy. The problem
was that, rather than forming a somewhat protective oxide as had been
anticipated (giving a parabolic growth rate) an unexpected phenomenon
known as breakaway corrosion occurred which meant the films grew
linearly with time.

This article by three of my old colleagues talks a bit about it.

Very interesting. It's a shame the research was only done after the
horse had bolted, so to speak.
