Thread: Ed, mock up bolts for scales.

Hey Dude

If these are any help, shoot me a P.M. with a postal address.
I have some pins and washers with your name on them as well !!

Bongo

Which Ed Bongo? I might have been able to help out with something along those lines perhaps too. I have some materials down in the shed as well.

Hi Mick,

Ed "H" was after some pins and washers.

E-bay can be a bit expensive when you factor in shipping,
and I haven't gotten around to checking out the model / hobby shops
in Perth yet. Will do so in the next few weeks.

B.T.W.
I'm toying with the idea of putting in a bulk order with Micro-Fasteners,
(or whatever they're called) so that our cobbers here have an opportunity
to get some of these thingys, just pin-rod and washers.

Everyone (in Oz) who wants a few pairs free of charge could just ask here.
Whaddaya say ?

I'm still looking for a supplier in Perth.
Oh, and I've had a few beers, so feeling a bit idealistic as well
Seriously though, if someone wants just a few pairs, why not ?

Bongo.

The last lot I got, I got from either Jantz Knife making supplies or Texas Knife making supplies. I can't remember which one now. They have a good range of fasteners...Or at least used to when last I checked.

Sounds like a generous offer with the fasteners mate, but don't do yourself out of money with it. Surely postage and a few coins to cover costs isn't too much to ask of anyone.

Theres a hobby shop in Perth on Murray st has really small bolts etc I was thinking if using to replace a pin. Never got there though but be a place for you to start. Think a set of ten pins and washes on the bay is 20 plus postage but it isn't much. And technically were both Ed H ha

Hi Eddy, actually I was referring to Ed "H", who doesn't live in Perth "Wesrern Australia"
Actually he does and I'm too soused now to keep editing this post.
LOL , sorry, I couldn't resist being a smart-ass
Awaiting your riposte

I spose he only lives here 1/3 of the time. I knew who you meant but wanted to be smart and don't think I've mentioned the fact we are both Ed H so your qualification was technically accurate.

Hey, guys, the idea and the following posts are neat.
Now:
Buying fasteners in the hundred quantity is really cheap. About 6-9 USD for a hundred.
A guy willing to break down a hundred in area of slow delivery is a great idea.
You might check with these folks:

Jeepers, this is getting out of control, I will shoot you a PM, and of course I will cover postage generously. The idea of group buy isn't bad, this stuff can be stuck to a piece of card and sent as a letter for $1.20.
Anyways don't want to breach any forum policies so will stop right there.

take a look in the Downunder area - Aussie suppliers thread also
