Handrail bolts

[Merlin]

Does anybody know if handrail bolts are still available?

I haven't seen any for years and could do with 4 of them - if all else fails I could make them but a bit busy at the moment.

Cheers, Merlin

There seems to be some here although bizarrely sold in packs of 3

Similar thing to Andy's post but in 10s

Only seem to have M4 and M8 threads

Bob , it might be worth trying WDS (wdsltd.co.uk) they seem to carry some of the more obscure stuff , I discovered them whilst I was faffing about looking parts for my K3 morticer . Their online catalogue is well worth studying .

And Allfix in Poole are quite helpful .

I've used these bolts before.

They work really well, I don't know if they are of use to you.


Kind regards,

Frank.

Thanks Gents,

Just the job - that is an impressive array of fixings, I might have a go with a few different types and report back.

They are going to be used to join some mitred cills on a conservatory I am making.

The section of cill is 8 x 3 so the bolts need to be pretty strong as they are going to be pre assembled and sprayed before taking to site.

Thanks, Merlin

Would kitchen work top bolts be a stronger option?

I thought of using those but I like the idea of a more concealed fixing with less cut out.

I will have a play with different types as I have got to accommodate a mortice in the cill to take a post above.
