| 1401446 | 2015-05-27 09:20:00 | Do they have to be from nz? You could try ebay or aliexpress I'll buy from anywhere on the planet, or even from a little green man if he lands his flying saucer in my back yard and has the items I need. :D It is not the 'where from' that is the problem, it is the 'who the heck has them?' and at a rational price.

| 1401447 | 2015-05-27 09:30:00 | x2 was going to suggest them too.I just google nylon nuts. Third entry. I gather billy has already seen that site as he has done an extensive search already. Obviously they don't have what he wants | plod (107) | ||
| 1401448 | 2015-05-27 09:32:00 | AliExpress if any of the links previously posted fail Loked at this one too, but it seems to be entirely 'consumer products' orientated, so it's about as much use as tits on a bull! Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 1401449 | 2015-05-27 09:37:00 | I used to regularly buy parts for building 3D printers from aliexpress including stepper motors, bearings etc so not all consumer products. It does take a bit of searching though. | gary67 (56) | ||

Obviously they don't have what he wants I did not think of that. But I have purchased from Hi-Q before and they are a good company. Easy to get samples too if you need to check something first. I know they have a wide range of nylon parts so assumed (but did not check) they have what he wants. |

| 1401452 | 2015-05-28 01:35:00 | Woo Hoo!!! Essentra Pty Ltd Australia appears to have the items I require, and at a credible price . However, setting up an account was a two-stage marathon and it took me nearly an hour online to complete it because of incomplete/obscure instructions . First stage was to set up an account, and for various reasons that took an age, in part because there is no indication given at the end that you are successful . No 'press enter to complete your application', 'proceed to the next step' or even just 'Submit' . So, I resorted to the old standby of hitting Enter a couple of time while muttering imprecations to the Gods of Commercial Internet Sites, which unfortunately appeared go unheard and to be honest I have no idea how I got past that point, but it happened . After a short while I located the 'next step' which was to set up your delivery details . This requested virtually the same information as the previous stage, so at first sight you'd swear that you were back at step 1! At one point, when I thought I was at the final FINAL stage, it popped up a box with a nice rotating border saying something like 'Processing, Please Wait', so I watched a TV program for an hour then backed out and started again . Turned out that I hadn't entered something in a tiny box, yet an earlier error popped up the standard web style message that I hadn't completed fully one step . Why they use two different responses to what was essentially the identical issue is beyond me! A 'nice' touch, but one that might cause problems for those who are unable to chew gum and walk at the same time (or are Americans) is contained in their 'human' verification . It is the standard system where you are asked to type in the letters seen on an image, but the potential problem there was that they have provided a set of numbers instead, but they are very small and some were virtually illegible . Since I am not American, and nor am I yet in my dotage, that did not present a problem, but following entry there was no 'click here' or similar action indicated to finalise the process . Anyway, I am now signed up as a customer and have an account . I can't recall who pointed me in the direction of Essentra, but thank you whoever and wherever you are, because I'd reached the point where I would even cop RS Components prices just for the sake of getting the items I needed . Cheers Billy 8-{) :thumbs: Incidentally, Element14 wanted $14 for one bolt, :horrified but they were not in stock . |
