2 BA Cap heads

[Alan]

2nd question in 2 days, pleased with my first about spring steel, but the other thing on my mind is about 2 BA caphead screws.
I need 50, 2 ba x 1 1/2" long. Its the first time i have used cap heads on any of my locos, but in this instant i feel that following the drawings is probably the right way to go. But at around £1 each, that seems excessive, (or have i been out of the trade for too long?)
So if you know where i can get some cheaper, please let me know.
The alternative is to use 5mm. im not sure if the additional dia of the head will be to big and in my mind, i try not to mix imperial and metric threads on the same build

Hi Alan,

Might be worth giving BA Bolts of Cheltenham a try, I've always found them pretty reasonable and they generally have a good selection.

No connection, just a satisfied customer.

I have to admit, i left this search with a friend. After posting this question , i had a search for myself. Cromwell turned up on the search high up and were only £7.49 + vat and postage for 50. so problem solved.

Thanks Tony for your answer, i will have a comparison with BA Bolts. I prefer using the smaller people

I think I have some 5mm cap heads somewhere , if you still need some let me know and I will have a search round.

Hi Alan.

Have you tried Ebay? I've just found 2BA x 1.1/2" cap screws for £4.90 for a pack of 10. 2 packs have a discount on that AND it offers FREE postage!!
