Where to buy 8-32 all thread!!

[George014]

Any ideas of where to buy it in the UK? I can't seem to find it at all. I want to make new links for my SCX10 and I have the rod ends and brake line but thats it Thanks in advance.

Well, I get my stuff locally, at the hardware store. I'm unsure of how things are over there, but try a hardware store? If not, I'm sure McMaster-Carr has it availabe, but I'm again not sure if they ship out of the US...

Since you are in the UK would it be easier to find a metric all thread? 8-32 should be around the same size as a M4-M6.

m4 would be the metric equivalent to 8-32... and would probably be considerably cheaper and easier to get than the 8-32, since your in the uk.
hope this helps "thumbsup"

You can find both UNC and metric threaded screws et al at for example Westfield Fasteners.

thanks guys, most people looked at me a bit funny in the hardware stores when I asked for 8-32 all thread. Even my dad who is in the trade too :s

What's up George "thumbsup"

Did you have any luck with finding any materials for your links?
I swear the UK is the worst for stores that supply good tools/materials.

I was going to use some alu' tubing and tap the ends, and then use grub screws to join everything together. But all thread and brake line seems like a better solution. B&Q warehouse had some all thread but only 3 pieces, and it was all unlabelled :roll:

4mm threaded rod (if you can find it locally) is a perfect fit for the Traxxas 5347 rod ends.
