    Question going to try rescaling... where do I get some of these hex bolts and nuts?

    Hi all,

    I read in a post below that some folks like to use hex bolts and nuts instead of rod/washers and peening.

    Anyone have a favorite seller for these items? I'd really like to try that first, if possible.

    Thanks for any and all info, mates!!!

    We have a lot of links and resources just above you in the stickies from the workshop.

    The adjustable screws and nuts are available at Microfasteners. A few other places sell them too but I have to give a thumbs up for microfasteners. Fast, affordable shipping and very reasonable pricing.

    I picked mine up from Vintage Razors online for $3.00. They offer two sizes and are quick with their shipping.

    Another point worth bearing in mind is that you could buy a tap for threading holes to match. If your blade requires a brass or steel bush in the tang, you could thread that, and use screws to draw both scales tight up against it. Or in a hard scale material such as bone or micarta you could thread the scales away from the screw-head, tighten it up that way, and add a nut which needn't be as tight as it would have to be if it was the only fastening. I think even screw-heads and nuts which you have reduced to round could work, if you tighten up the screw by the over-length shank, held with a piece of copper sheet in pliers or a vice.
