metric nuts

[rhubarb7]

Anywhere know where I can buy some untreated nuts..

Ideally M8 and M10, all I can find are zinc plated or galvanised..

I just want them for making sculptures..

Look for 'self colour' nuts.

Lovely, thanks for that

Brought a few up on ebay, but not a lot else..

At least I know what to ask for now

 

[madkayaker]

isn't there a solution that removes the yellow zinc?

some sort of acid I should think

Its annoying, cos I can get normal galvinised/plated ones from Toolstation for pennies.

 

[madkayaker]

Have a look for your local fastener suppliers

 

[Bigjoe]

How about Namrick in portmouth area?

 

[Bsmith]

Heat treated nuts to cherry red and wire brush?

 

[Endacy]

I'd go and see your local fastener supplier (yellow pages). Ig anyone can get them they can, and as long as you buy enough i'm sure they won't mind.

If you can't get them local you could try fastfixdirect[or is that fixfastdirect?] 200x M8 nuts are about 3 quid.
