Slotted spring pins

I love the internet, but there are times when trying to find a supplier for want you need can be very frustrating. Just spend a while trying to source 1/16'' x 5/8'' ( I could take longer and cut them down) slotted spring pins aka roll pins.

There are firms that will supply, but in boxes of 200, or firms who will make them to order, but none that do smaller quantities. In the past someone has always come up with a supplier for what ever I was trying to source at the time, I hope this will be no exception.

Thanks

I have never heard them called that! Halfords used to do a useful mixed roll pin set in metric sizes. Perhaps a 1.5mm pin would do?

57p for ten any good to you here

Don't you get these kind of kits from the Far East in the UK? Fairly inexpensive. they come in all kinds of flavours: nuts & bolts, SHCS, snap-rings, clevis-pins, o-rings, cotter-pins etc etc including roll-pins.

Looking at the Machine Mart ads I would have guessed them to have this kind of thing.

Edit: I just checked and they list them here.

Brilliant, thanks Jason. I've already got a selection box of roll pins and didn't really need another one just to get the couple a needed.

Thanks again.

And you call yourself a Model Engineer?

I call myself a modest hero and a friend of the people, but I still don't need another selection box of roll pins!!!
