Pre-drilled metric hardware

[Larry Frankenstein]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a supplier of pre-drilled (for safety wire) metric hardware? More specifically I am looking for M10 x 1.50 socket head bolts.

Tried Aircraft Spruce, Fastenal, Mcmaster Carr, Pegasus – no luck.

Thank you,
Larry

Try Metric & Multistandard as well.. http://metricmcc.com/
Nice people- worth a phone call since I didn't see it listed in their catalog under a quick search.

you could always drill them yourself. takes a cobalt bit, but places like Pegasus and others have fixtures for sale to hold the bolt and position the drill bit.

I think it cost me $6 to have 8 ring gear bolts drilled by a local machine shop a few years ago. Was worth it to me - didn't have to buy the fixture, and didn't have to replace the drill bits I inevitably would have broken.

In this case time and availability (of good hardware) are issues. I would drill if I could get the right stuff and had time.

Thanks guys.
