A10 SCREW SETS.

[BearKat]

OK!!,I give up,
            Can you Guys tell me who supplies gearbox/chaincase slot head screw sets for my 1954 A10, i have spent time on Ebay and only find Allen screws!!,

I got some timing chest slotted screws from  Draganfly. They weren't cheap and aren't the right (fillister) head.

I think if I was doing it again I'd just use allen screws despite the non-standard look.

I use Dave Middleton Stainless (Batley Mills, Yorkshire) www.stainlessmiddleton.co.ukfor all my restorations. He has all the common stuff and quite a few special nuts and bolts required fo A10's. He has fillister heads and cheese heads slotted but you need to measure your screws before ordering as he doesn't do kits. Lightning Spares in Sale, Manchester have got the best range of bespoke A10 stainless parts I am aware of. Brian at Lightning Spares will do kits.

Just picked up a set of primary case cheese headed slotted screws from Nooky's Nuts at Kempton autojumble and they were resonable at around £4 per set. Ther was also a chap called Superior Stainless there who could put a set together. Google them to find there numbers.

I used to get  stuff from Superior Stainless, it was excellent quality, however they seemed go haywire for a while with wrong stuff sent out, orders going missing and orders not complete.
my mate bought more than I did from them and he too had problems, shame really as the products where top notch, be nice to think they had sorted all the problems out

Hi All,
I bought a lot of ss stuff from Superior when building my Super Rocket,
I havnt been able to find them in recent times???
The couple who run/ran the business were getting on a bit and that was 10 years ago!!
At that time they were about the only pople who supplied the correct shaped bolt heads for BSA
Fit and finish was Superb

I would like to know if they are still the same??

Lightning prices probably for stainless, Nookys probably plain steel
