Miniature nuts. bolts & rivets etc

Does anyone know of a website/shop that sells the really small hex bolts similar to the ones that Sakatsu are now producing. When I say small I mean no more than 1mm head diameter. I distinctly remember seeing not too long ago a company selling a mixed bag of 200 of these little beauties on ebay but I cannot find them anymore and I cant remember who the seller was either which is all the more frustrating - they went for alot less in comparison to what Sakatsu are charging for their (10 packs) too!

any advice would be appreciated!

many thanks

Sean

I am interested also because Sakatsu is very expensive.

Wish I knew, sorry.

The company is RB Motion.
They don't have website, but you can browse its catalogue.
http://public.fotki.com/retabeth/rb_motion_catalog/

I've seen the company selling stuff on eBay on an irregular basis, so if you wait, I think you'll have another chance.

I've used these guys before, back when they were known as Galtran, excellent product and service. Looks like they are making/selling the same stuff, hopefully the service is still as good.

I can highly recommend them. I made a order last week, good service and very fast shipping (3 days to germany) and since my order was a bit more expensive shipping was for free and he included a bag with some parts for free!!!


RB Motion Hex bolts are 9$ per 20 pieces
Scalehardware hex bolts are 9$ per 25 pieces

I can highly recommend http://scalehardware.com also. Just received my order from them in just under a week ( to Tasmania, Australa). Good quality hex heads and bolts

Re: Miniature nuts. bolts & rivets etc

thanks guys, unbelievably helpful as always. scalehardware seems like a good option and also RBmotion, and yes, I think that was the seller on ebay that I saw. One of these companies is going to get big ole order flying its way.

thanks again

Sean

Re: Miniature nuts. bolts & rivets etc

Robert at RB motion is a pleasure to deal with. The stuff he lists on e-bay are items that people did not purchase. As all of his stuff is special made to order, he keeps a very limited stock on hand. Thats why is auctions are irregular
