waraton Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 You could try these guys. https://www.aaestore.com.au Haven't used them myself but have lots of goodies and seem pretty fair with pricing.

440032 Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Aircraft Propellers and Spares Moorabbin will have them.
Tex Posted January 21, 2021 Author Posted January 21, 2021 No luck in Australia, ordering OS seems the only option.

onetrack Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 Tex, have you tried P&M Aviation? http://pmaviation.com.au/aircraft-hardware/
skippydiesel Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 This is one of the many reasons I prefer to fly European (metric) aircraft - most "fixings" of the appropriate standard, can be acquired through any half decent nuts & bots supplier. 1
spacesailor Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) You can get that size & standard from other suppliers. BUT not to aircraft specifications. I use " Lee,s Brothers " at the nuthouse Parramatta. Seem to have anything l need That certification ticket is MONEY IN THE BANK to aircraft specialist suppliers. spacesailor Edited January 23, 2021 by spacesailor Missed word

The fixing suppled do not just look like the original , they are exactly the same, tensile strength, diameter, length (overall & thread) and thread pitch. The only change I have made is to use upgraded lock nuts in critical area (I am not a fan of the ubiquitous "Nylock" in these areas). To me, (a simple sole with limited brain capacity) American sourced aircraft/parts are a nightmare of multiple measurement types & systems - why anyone wants to hang on to imperial (US or UK) measuring systems is a level of lunacy that can not be explained by any logical process. 1 2
kgwilson Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 I can't understand why we continue to depend on imperial measurements in aircraft when everything else is metric. Why Jabiru use AN when Australia is metric I don't know other than they export quite a few engines to the US. Even the US went metric but some President I believe declared in unamerican & it never progressed. Everything is expressed in fractions as well. Pain in the proverbial. Anyway I have purchased unusual length AN bolts from Hawker Pacific so you could give them a try. 1
old man emu Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 I'm going to say something about metric -v- imperial on https://www.socialaustralia.com.au
spacesailor Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 skippydiesel Why did we have to go with the French metric !. When Germany ( din ) and Japan were metric, way before degaul got a bee in his bonnet, against England !. spacesailor

Just because it says 8.8 on the head may not guarantee that much nowadays. The wrong grade of Chinesium could have been used. With AN hardware one can be reasonably sure you are getting what you paid more for. 1 1

onetrack Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) Tex - Are you sure you have the nomenclature precisely correct? The information below seems to indicate the correct nomenclature is AN5H-26 or AN5H-26A, depending on whether you need a drilled shank or not. AN5H-26 is a 5/16" x 24tpi bolt with 2-5/16" grip length, with a drilled head, and a drilled shank. AN5H-26A is a 5/16" x 24tpi bolt with 2-5/16" grip length, with a drilled head, and an undrilled shank. https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/document.asp?DocID=TECH00095 AN bolts are different to all other "standard" hardware, and are measured by grip length, and have shorter threads than standard fasteners. Standard SAE fasteners are measured by overall shank length, measured from the underside of the head. In addition, standard SAE fasteners can have a discrepancy in thread diameter, depending on which company made them. Another Australian supplier that may be able to supply, is Australian Aerospace Engineering. Here is a link to their catalogue. https://www.aaestore.com.au/media/catalog/eStore_Catalogue.pdf Edited January 24, 2021 by onetrack

None one listed had them in stock.
