So many of the bolts and screws on deailers etc are proprietary, if a LBS dont have them in their wonder box of of assorted nuts and bolts, they may have to order parts packets from the manuf.

That was easy. An M5 x 0.8 is the kind of thing you can make yourself if all else fails, but I'll bet you can find bucketloads of them on ebay.

Fair enough... I just got back on the forum because my virus checker kept blocking it, so didn't see that.
Never mind.
Never mind.

I have resorted more than once to ordering stuff from Bolt Depot. Easy to spend more on shipping than on the goods but they have everything.

I've also used the Bolt Depot, as mentioned above. I needed some replacement caliper centering screws for some FSA K-force brakes and they had exactly what I needed in SS. Of the online stores that I searched through, these guys actually had a navigable website and I was able to easily find what I needed. The others didn't (at least that I saw).

[QUOTE=Kotts;16607706]
+1 A 10-32 is a sloppy fit in a properly drilled and tapped M5x0.8 hole and won't hold well. The tap drill for an M5x.8 bolt is 4.3 mm or 0.1693". For a #10-32 it's a #21 or 0.1590". That's close but no cigar.
NO. More specifically, #10-32 almost fits, but won't hold properly can will likely damage threads.

In hindsight, I should not have said "essentially the same" but something more like "close enough for a non-critical fastener."

For anyone iin Oz, these guys do free postage: Fasteners Galore items - Get great deals on M6, M8 items on eBay Stores!
I'd be interested to know how much they charge for postage to the US or UK... someone want to have a squiz for me?

I placed an order Wednesday morning and it was delivered Thursday afternoon. I will certainly make this my "go-to" place for hardware.

I guess I'm lucky. I have a True Value hardware store on the way home from work that carries a full selection of metric stainless fasteners in button, hex or philips head, M3 through M10.
