pudestcon Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 G'day OME, This is going to be a great service I reckon. How do we know what you stock mate? Pud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man emu Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 It is a bit hard to list all the hardware items we sell. We don't have a website, or a catalogue as such. Basically, we stock nuts, bolts, washers, split pins, rivets (solid and CherryMax). Items are AN, NAS, or MS part numbers. All have proper traceability. (We use the same stock items as we sell in the certified aircraft we maintain.) The easiest way to find out if we have what you need is to email a "Price & Availability" request. We'll return a quotation. Old Man Emu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dad Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Dunno about running the pants off a kangaroo!!!! You certainly beat the pants off the opposition with prices on my order!!!! Really need a catalogue or online store. Many Thanks Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man emu Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 If you've seen one catalogue, you've seen them all. That's why I haven't made one up. I don't have anything special, like wigwams for goose's bridles. Just the basics. If you need something, just ask for it. If I don't have it immediately, I'll chase around for it for you. An on-line store needs an e-payment system and all sort of extra work. As it stands, I can run QED Hardware sales and my other job functions concurrently. However, if lots of people start buying stuff from me, I could give the other functions the flick and concentrate on QED Old Man Emu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old man emu Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Rivet layout tool; drills & drill stops Got a lot of rivetting to do? Here are the tools you'll need: EVEN RIVET - SPACING TOOL Large fan spacer has 20 fingers / opens to 38” @ 2”. Accordion style tool used for layout and marking of equal spacing for rivet hole patterns. Capable of variable adjustment from 1/2” to 2” spacing. Note: This tool is designed for layout / marking and is not designed nor intended for use as a drill guide. Stainless steel construction. NUMBERED DRILL BITS Rivets aren't manufactured with accurate diameters, so if you are using ones with a nominal 1/8" diameter, a regular 1/8" drill bit is likely to produce an undersized hole, and your rivet won't fall into place. That's where Numbered Drill Bits come in. These drills produce a slightly oversized hole that readily accepts your rivet. For example, a 1/8 drill makes a hole 0.125" diameter. The recommended drill bit for a 1/8 rivet is a #30 which makes a hole with a 0.1285" diameter. The recommended drills for the commonly used rivets are: 3/32" : #40; 1/8" : #30; 5/32" : #21, and 3/16" : #10 DRILL STOPS Use when drilling in sheet metal to help eliminate drill break- age &surface marks. Safely keeps drill from going too far through the work. Drill stops have a coiled spring to cushion the drill breakthrough &prevents the drill chuck from marring the work surface. Color coded for easy identification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
