Source for Odd Bolts

External Since: Oct 12, 2003 Posts: 3

Hello,
I am looking for a source for 1/2-12 (yes that's 12 threads per inch!) grade
8 hex head bolts in lengths of 2" and 5 1/4". Can anyone suggest a source
for these? They are head bolts for 1928 and earlier Chevrolet 4-cylinder
engines.

Thanks!

Haven't looked for them, but I ran across those threads on a Lucas fuel
filter on a Perkins Diesel (I'm fuzzy on exactly what it was, but it
was a Perkins). Might try a British Bolt supplier. That's just a guess.
