I'm looking for a British nut and bolt supplier (in the US) for my 63 BJ7. I had a good source listed a few years ago but lost it on an old computer that went bad. It must have had Lucas wiring. Thanks!

I've had good luck getting British nuts and bolts for my BN1 from British Tools and Fasteners. But, except for the carbs, there are very few British (BSF, BA or BSW) fasteners on your BJ7. Most of your nuts and bolts will be UNF or UNC. I've had reasonable luck getting carb screws (BA as I recall) from Moss.

Hi Marv,
I think the main reason to get British bolts is for the correct markings on the head. If the car is being judged, there would be a deduction for using bolts from Home Depot.
