canadian bolts

[Ed Caton]

Two sources that I recommend. (I am in the Toronto Area) 1. Canadian Tire (nee Crappy Tire, nee Crappy). A newer bigger store usually has bins of successive sizes and lengths, all hex- head. Also have a small and large head size for the same threads. Must be a grading thing. 2. Spae-Naur. There is one in Kitchener/Waterloo. THere is one in Tononto (Scarborough I think). May also be in yellow pages under Kemsies, which must be their parent. You can buy boxes of fasteners or assorted kits in those compartmentalized steel bins that fit into racks. I would think that for $100 Canadian you could order a kit that would last forever. The third option I would try would be to go to your local Race shop, like RACE in Cambridge. There used to be a shop called Brutune in Stoney Creek (awesome shop run by a guy named Les - don't know what happened to them...) and Les always had stainless socket-head cap screws of various sizes on hand to replace hex-heads and phillips heads on race bikes. They were usually drilled for race wire. My bet is that those boys have a good source of fasteners. BTW, a socket-head cap screw is allen head. Eddie
