Paddy_SP Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Having replaced pretty well all of the fasteners (where appropriate) on my 110 with stainless steel versions, I'm loath to reuse the plain steel spire bolts that hold the front panels in place. I've searched high and low, but can't seem to find anyone who supplies them. I therefore thought I'd seek the collective wisdom from this fine site - can any of you help me out with a supplier, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cackshifter Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Try YRM; I think I have seen something like that there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy_SP Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) Thanks, but I can't see anything like them on their website. Edited to add: I should have made it clear that while I can see the kit of bolts they offer, what I actually wanted was the original style spire bolt, but in stainless, rather than an alternative!

ianmayco68 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Try eBay, just put stainless spire bolts in and quite a few sets and others came up . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy_SP Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Thanks, but none of the ones I've seen on there are anything like the original pattern, the vast majority being for motorcycle fairings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy_SP Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) The spire clips in the YRM 'stainless bulkhead to wing kit' appear to be made of BZP, not stainless - at least according to the url for that item no '1013': https://yrmit.co.uk/product/land-rover-defender-series-bulkhead-door-hinge-screw-bzp-captive-nuts-pk-8-bhy500100/ Edited November 13, 2018 by Paddy_SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy_SP Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Sadly, nothing appropriate comes up - I've tried it frequently, each time with the naive hope that I didn't look hard enough in the last attempt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Talk to Mark at http://www.a2stainless.co.uk/ he maybe able to supply/advise. I bought from him before, very nice guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 This is something I've been looking for for years also, I just don't think they actually exist for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailysleaze Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I bought and fitted some about 7 years ago, but can't remember where. Although I believe these are correct https://www.accu.co.uk/en/phillips-self-tapping-pan-screws/372278-SIPT-No-14-3-4-A4 Check the measurements though 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 On LR Series website they are listed as ACME bolts --- http://www.lrseries.com/shop/product/listing/2648/AM605061-ACME-BOLT-OUTER-WING-TO-BULKHEAD.html?search=AM605066&page=1 so you need to talk to roadrunner & coyote to find out how to order stainless steel version if they exist from ACME Corporation but seriously try these guys http://www.acmestainless.co.uk/results_nuts.asp?Category=49 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy_SP Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 I meant to thank you for the link to a2stainless.co.uk, but got side-tracked (so thank you!) - I've used him loads of times before, and every time has been a pleasure - I will send him an email and see if he can help. As for the ACME thread form designation - it certainly looks though it could be - it would be a great help to know if it is! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 the lrseries link is the correct items.but not stainless . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy_SP Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 Sadly, a2stainless.co.uk tell me that these are not available in stainless. It's therefore a question as to whether I can be bothered to go and make some myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
