Phil ; I have tried to buy the slot head flats countersunk here at Fastenal and as Grant said they will bring them in from the US for a big fee most time the bolts are cheaper than the shipping now I just wait until my stock of any slot head screws or bolts run out then make a trip
I don,t mean to step on your toes but in Canada we cannot buy old style slot head bolts anymore any where thayt I know of Nut and Bolt, Stelco, Brafsco etc etc. |

Hi Stew and Grant
Guess RATS sums it up. Sorry to hear that is their approach, locally they never charge for shipping unless I want it next day. My other good source for bolts (grade 8) is the local tractor/heavy machinery dealer who has their bolts stock out in the parts area for customers and they sell all bolts nuts, washers etc. by the pound about $4.30 an lb. so they almost always beat the local hardware store. Cheers Phil

As iritating as paying shipping gets, I can sort of understand that if the bolt I want isn't in their "normal" warehouse path that there are additional handling and shipping costs above the"normal" channel. If I can, I wait until I have several "odd" items to order so that the shipping charge in $/item improves. I also often order more than I need to have a bit in stock "for the next truck" or in case I drop one in the mud or failed to count correctly (or other excuses) or so the other inhabitants of the barn have access.

Gentlemen,
I have been intending to put a 6 digit serial number on the doors of my truck, and spoke with a sign writing place this afternoon, regarding creation of a stencil 'mask' I can apply, through which to spray the numbers onto the doors & snoz! The mask would then be removed entirely, leaving only the number. The number I want to use has absolutely nothing to do with being correct for the vehicle (or any other). It is actually my Fathers Military service number. I am even considering adding the "Q" in front of the number, making it match his number exactly. When I have been looking for placing, size and font of others vehicles, I have noticed some unusual things, as follows. The vast majority of CMPs I have seen with door numbers are Canadian. Is this a coincidence? I have seen many varieties of font used, and my preference is for a stencil type, similar to that which was used on crates etc., but I have seen some which are solid numbers in a range of styles. I don't know which would be more accurate for the period? And finally, I have seen trucks with the same numbers on one or both sides of the nose panel. Even ones with the numbers applied vertically instead of across. Is there a 'correct' method? I will also be applying a division TAC sign on passenger side of nose, once I find out exactly which division the 29/46 Inf Btn ![]() Can any of you good folks offer any insight into these queries???? ![]()
