Go to Aircraft Spruce and Specialty. They will have what you need in
aircraft grade fine thread. They stock nearly everything and ship fast.
I have outfitted all my race cars over the years with hardware from them.

I?m working on the Spitfire?s traverse leaf swing spring rear
suspension and can?t find locally the 7/16? fine thread (20 tpi)
by 3 1/2? bolts that were holding the vertical link and to
the trunnions and to the swing spring bushings.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I can find the right sizes in a coarse thread (12 tpi) grade
8 bolt and thats my plan. The old ones are grade 5 or in one
case a bolt with no slash marks on top. I don?t know what it is.<br>
<div>
<div>Do these bolts need to be fine thread for any particular
reason, e.g. for safety, torque specs, etc.? Is a grade 8
bolt a good idea where it will be stressed with all the up
and down motion with the vertical link? Too brittle? Usually
I go for grade 8 whenever possible but I?ve heard there are
instances where it might not be the best solution.</div>

<div>My son and his wife teaching in Shanghai said the Chinese
love to celebrate American holidays (they know them from
American TV and movies) but their take on Thanksgiving is
that you thank people who do nice things for you. So they
got cards from their students thanking them for teaching.
Kind of a different twist but a good one I thought.</div>
