Does any one have a source for high quality aircraft type fasteners?
I would like to have some new high quality bolts on my race bike for items like shocks,handlebars and footpegs.
I think boltdepot.com was mentioned, and Kip has info on Wickes aircraft supply (hope I got the spelling right)

Pratt & Whitney Aircraft may have some used fasteners available. Biggest problem with their fasteners is, theres nothing in your tool box that fit them !! :D
All kidding aside, Fastenal sells a good selection of SS and standard metric fasteners.
maybe GE...

Speaking of a source for fasteners - this is the Austrian company (est. in 1842) that supplied KTM with alot of the original fasteners I've found on my Pentons, from 1970 through 1977. If you're familiar with some of the original screws and bolts from a Penton, I'm sure you've seen the raised letters on the heads that say - SCHMID 8.8 (Schmid is the company name, and 8.8 is the grade of steel)
I'm not sure what my point is here, I have no plans to call them and order a 1/2 ton of bolts. Just thought it was an interesting find.
