Does anyone know of any website or catalogue where you can look up the size of bolts and nuts etc? My local indy spares dealer seems to have access to a system where they can pop in the part number and it tells them the size. I’d like to do the same so I don’t end up paying £5 for a 5p bolt.

I usually get part number then go on to Britcar here https://www.brit-car.co.uk/search.p..._type=&xSupplierID=&product-sort=&xPerPage=10 type part number in and 9 times out of ten they have the size there, like this one M8 X 20MM
My local bolt nut and bolt supplier always has what I need at half the price.

Cheers chap, I’ve just tried that for a couple of missing set screws and it came up trumps.

Took me a while to figure it out but Britcar gives you the size nearly every time
