Thread: M1 (1mm) nuts and bolts

Need a couple of M1 (1mm) x 10mm bolts plus nuts for a small vaguely hunting-relating, but not gunsmithing project. Can't find them anywhere in NZ. Any suggestions? Cheers.

A model shop? One that specialises in motorised boats or cars??

M1 Not listed but worth a call, I have always found these guys helpful

Fasteners Manufacturing & Distributors - Steelmasters

Aliexpress is your friend (in this case).

I have some really small nuts. And bolts, not sure of the thread. What material?

Hahahahaha, I won’t say more

Thanks for the replies. AliExpress was the first thing that popped up on Google of course, but I can't be bothered to wait 3 months on this occasion.

40mm - Material doesn't matter. Thread doesn't matter either as long as the bolt and nuts are compatible, but they do need to be about 10mm long. Cheers.

Just had a look in the workshop, I have some very small model engineers bolts, some 1.65 diameter by 6.2 long and some 2.15 diameter by 9.5 long if you think you could get them to work. I am in Northland (Whangarei) as well and would be happy to send you half dozen of each (with nuts) for free Cheers Darren

Thanks Darren, that's very kind of you. Could I try the 1.65 x 6.2mm bolts/nuts please. I'll send you my address via PM. Cheers.

There's M1.4 and M1.6 available here: https://nz.rs-online.com/web/c/faste...700,4291706543

I just checked and can only find 2.6mm sorry.

No worries, thanks for looking.

I have 2mm x 8mm with nylocs if any use. You might need to enlarge the hole a fraction.
