Anyone know where I can get well nuts with marine grade stainless steel fixings in the UK?

 

Thanks

If you're after the 5WN16A well nuts (I've tried the 5WN13A ones and they are too small on the side of a Prowler) then Rivetwise don't have them in stock. I'm using them to fit my RAM mounts to the yak. I have ordered from these guys instead (last Friday) and they seem a bit cheaper and are very friendly Torque Control. I ordered A4 grade screws to go with them from A2A4 at the same time and they have arrived already.

 

They don't have credit card ordering thought so it'll take a bit longer to get the stuff. Hope that helps.

I think you need one of these tools http://tinyurl.com/2s5mtk to use those rivet nuts it's a bit like a pop rivet gun, but a lot bigger, you may be able to hire one

Yakdiver - I'm hoping that I get the same type of wellnuts I got from Rivetwise (in the smaller size). The guy at Torque Control certainly recognised the product code I gave him from the Rivetwise website and I assumed that was what he's going to send me. If so I won't need the tool. If I get the metal blind screw rivet thingies I'll be back to square one! Will report back.

They sell them to put screens on motorcycles!

I got the ones from Torque Control yesterday and they were just the same type as those you get from Rivetwise so no need for the special tool to fit them!
