Jack10 Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Hello, Im wondering if anyone has ever used the Triumph GT6 In a Box from imperialnutsandbolts.com https://shop.imperialnutsandbolts.com/product/triumph-gt6-in-a-box-the-ultimate-bolt-fastener-set-1800-pieces/ It looks like it would save quite a bit of time than having to order the bits separately. Looking for any advice if its good or bad Cheers Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Hi Jack, Great idea but £££! This is a link to the club shop catalogue, page 17 has nut/bolt garage packs, set screw/nut/washer packs and more. All at a more reasonable price. Worth giving them a ring. 2021 Shop Catalogue.pdf (tssc.org.uk) Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 I have 2, or maybe 3?. Old Buscuit tins, literally full of old (and new) nuts and bolts, saved my bacon a few times. But I can see the attraction of a "pack". One advantage being you only pay postage once?. I am fortunate, as we have a local "ironmongers" who keep just about every size imaginable!. (Scotts, In Hull) I`ve had BSF and AF (UN) off them in recent times. Canley do a fast(ish) turnaround too, but the postage can be as much as the item!.

Clive Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 I very rarely buy new bolts, the old ones 95% of the time are fine to reuse, and are better quality than the new ones. Especially when ssome have pointed ends etc, which none of th enew ones are. Buying bags of new nylocs are not expensive. If you really want new stuff, most of the usual suspects will sell kits. GT6 in a box, sounds good, but not broken down into areas so it is probably a good selection, but I suspect it is all the common sizes. It does claim to cover 90%, so you can bet all the unusual ones are missing. But you won't know until you have spent ages rummaging through the box, and end up having to order it.

PeteH Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 "Handy" things to have are a few "die nuts". Often found fairly cheap at "jumbles", Brilliant for cleaning up old/crusty threads. Another "trick" is partial saw cuts through the thread in a Nut will often remove softer crap more easily?. Sadly. Most of the 13/60`s Chassis bolts had to be removed with an Angle grinder!!, so that was a full set of new ones!. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanMi Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 I use beal.org.uk for the standard setscrews nylocs normal nuts etc. Most of the special ones can be reused or purchased as needed (other hardware suppliers are available) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NonMember Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 I've also found Spalding Fasteners to be very efficient, though I've only used them once. Previously I used Namrick, also very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Another vote for Spalding, along with Kayfast and Massiveattack007 all through fleabay or their own sites, although the latter two have more !imited imperial stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might explain why they took nine days to get an order to me, so I went back to Spalding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badwolf Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Massiveattack007 are only down the road from me but it still took 48 hours but no hurry and this order was half the price of others. Certainly not worth the petrol to go and collect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
