5/8 whitworth bolts

[God mode restorations]

Hi guys.
Some of would have seen my posts of my large Peter Wright vice.
I am looking to replace the nuts and bolts with new ones as the originals are shot.
Problem I am having is finding 5/8 bsw with the same size nuts and heads of the originals and these are large. Any ideas where I could possibly locate some. I can use the normal bsw fittings but they don't have the large head/nuts

I would guess it's a case of making some.

Yes. Thinking that might be my only option

Gives Spencer a chance to use one or more of his machines

If you can find suitable donor bolts, come over here and forge the heads square. Or did I miss a post and you have your own anvil/forge setup?

I wouldn’t be surprised if he had a full blown coke forge and power hammer

You could find room for a Blacker hammer, would be an interesting restoration too.

Those bolts would be a doddle to make Spencer, get on with it.

Too many people on here messing about painting and cleaning their machines instead of making stuff, and I'm the weirdo for keeping the blue plastic on my car?

I don’t know what’s worse, painting machines or looking for blue sticky back plastic

@Parm If you take it off your sunglasses I'll take it off my car

Now whether they are true Whitworth or just threaded that way I have no idea.
