Miniature Bolts

[Debra_Dresler]

Has anyone used a source for very small brass bolts and nuts?

I can find stainless ones but would like brass for the color.
Looking for 1/8" or smaller, #0-80 or smaller.

Thanks....

Try Reactive metals in AZ. They have sorts of nuts and bolts. E-Mail them for a catalogue-reactive@sedona.net

I may have one. I will be travelilng for three weeks, thus out of touch with e-mail. Check with Frank Singer. You can leave a message for him at 818-795-9422, and they will put you in touch with him. He carries 50,000 types of findings of all sizes and kinds. Very low prices--my favorite.

On the subject of miniature nuts and bolts. I have a friend who molded a size 1-72 (male thread about 1.8 mm. outside diameter) nut and bolt which he would then cast in sterling silver and use as a design and structural element in jewelery. I saw these about 8 years ago but I remember being impressed by the fit and

strength of the threads although I don't believe we tightened any past the stripping point.

If you find the pieces you want in brass or steel and want them in a precious metal try molding and casting them.
