Try E.C. Pitcher, 206 Stafford St Walsall. WS2 8DW. 01922 622523. No website but I have always obtained everything I needed there. An old fashioned tool merchant.

Spalding Fasteners have a large selection.  Sometimes difficult to find what required on website but very helpful on phone.
Do you need a domed headed bolt to screw into metal through a hole in the woodl?  Will need thread type and size for them to search.
 Alternative would be to find hex head bolt and file head to rounded form and cut a slot with saw.
Depending on strength required roofing bolts come in many sizes....and shallow domed slotted or cross headed

Bolt; machine screw;  wood screw.......the right terminology will help.

Hi Matt

I find that eBay is a useful search engine when it comes to nuts and bolts. Namrick, Spalding and others all have eBay shops.  If you can’t get it on eBay then Google normally finds a specialist seller.  One thing to watch for is the exact steel spec you want for the item.  For example many Nyloc type nuts are not high tensile so you need to clarify with the seller.

Cheers

Hi Smiley — I’d like to know more about older type screws. Could you flesh this out a bit please?

RE: Where to buy nuts & bolts (pre-war) - goodwoodweirdo - 11-01-2022

Found everything on Spalding 's website and easy to search / order ... so I guess at the end of the day a good website pays off...

thanks again..
