Looking for 12-32 bolts...

got a lot of mileage on this thread, I think I would have made a screw by now.

 

Haha! If I knew how, I would have too. Looks like I'm going to have to learn.

12-32 like 1/4-32 are a pretty unusual thread. I know 1/4-32 is Holly jet thread. Really don't see it much of anywhere else. And 12 is a not often used screw dia. Lots of 10s and 1/4. Why don't you just tap it for 1/4 20 or 28 and be done with it?

 

Along with costing twice as much they usually only want to sell whole boxes of an item and not singles.

The Fasteners store here will sell you what ever you want though.

Having 283 240Z or someone with a print McMaster Carr catalog check is probably the best option for getting them mailed to you.

If there is a gun shop that does repairs close by check with them too.

 

I felt good about this one, but no go. He just emailed back that the bolt is one of the few things he doesn't have. Said he's going to reproduce them, but it will be several weeks out. Luckily, one of the members here has some in his garage and is going to them my way. Woo hoo! Thanks for your help!

 

Again... thanks to everyone who offered advice. My fan is now back in my truck!! WOO HOO!
