kiznook Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Actually you're talking about Vancouver Bolt & Supply. Figure if you're going to give respect, might as well get the name right. 1 Quote Link to comment

lil89ram50 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 your trying to buy head bolts at a hard ware store? Quote Link to comment
Hardwyre Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 So I stand corrected, I wonder where I came up with the other incorrect name. How do you know someone grew up on Vancouver? They call that place either Vancouver Nut & Bolts or Vancouver Bolt. Don't feel bad, everyone here calls them Vancouver Bolt and have been doing so for years. your trying to buy head bolts at a hard ware store? They're hardly a "hardware store". They specialize specifically in fasteners and everything related to fasteners. I had no way of turning the trigger wheel to put it on the back of the harmonic balancer, so I bolted it to the front. Thing was, no one had a bolt in the right size and read as the one on the snout of the L28's crank. They did. I had to buy a 3 foot length, but even then it was only about $20, and they cut and radiused the ends of the length I used. A couple nuts and lockwashers and I'm golden. And the people there are just great; knowledgeable and friendly. If I wanted to waste $100, they could even get me a "sky girder" bolt. I don't know what it was used for, but it's about two feet long with a 22" hex head on it and is about 14" thick. Make a pretty awesome table out of that thing. :) Quote Link to comment
