Nuts and Bolt charts?

I might be crazy, but I thought I saw somewhere a complete list of all the nuts and bolts, washers etc., that goes on a Commando, giving size of bolt, nut and washers and thread type for every application.

If I could find the list again, I would like to print it out. Then maybe I could source some of the stuff myself, and save some time and money.

If someone knows a link to the sight, it would be GREATLY appreciated.

Many, many thanks.

Piece of cake.

It's not compiled but you can use it to start making the list. This is better than the parts book because it includes the actual sizes of the nuts and bolts.

I bet you forgot to look in the "Technical Information Section" technical-information-section-how-post-photos-t2357.html
-didn't you? :wink:


Still,-here it is: http://stainlessbits.com/link12a.html

And I would advise everyone to make a copy of that list, as the guy is closing down the business. http://stainlessbits.com/

Good link! I copied the entire site, so if they do go away there is a copy. Also there are internet caching sites.

Thanks alot L.A.B., that is the exact list I was thinking about, but checked (I thought), everywhere and could'nt find it.

I'm not crazy after all. :mrgreen:

I really appreciated the stainless bitts list. I have a copy. It’s a shame he is going out of business.

Not to bite the hand that feeds me (information), but some of the entries are wrong or missing. I wonder if there is any way we can keep up the Norton part of the list, adding to it as we can.

I still think it was neat that a guy from UK (I think that state is next to TN), and two people from Belgium, helped me find out about a part I could not identify, here in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The collective knowledge of this forum would be invaluable.

Check it against the Old Britts listings.

I have an Excell spread sheet of nearly every nut, bolt and washer for my 69 'S' if anyone wants it , send me a pm. I think it is fairly complete, but I concentrated on the UNF/UNC threads and I can't guarantee it's accuracy. I did list some of the CEI and others, didn't include the motor at all. I bought all SS UNF/UNC from boltdepot at a much better price than you can get from the m/c dealers. I think I got everything I needed plus spares for about $80USD and I replaced all the nuts I could with nylocks. Some nuts will not take the nylocks because of the extra length. The WW, CEI and other non US standard nuts and bolts I plated with a kit from Caswell. Most of it turned out pretty good. If you use SS be sure to use nickel anti-seize.
