Any advice on suppliers?

They should be 3/8" UNF IIRC.

Moss? You might pay more but they'll be the correct ones.
Bill Bretherton

All suppliers have errors and mistakes, Moss certainly do.

Nigel, perhaps I'm too trusting! I haven't had any glaring errors from them yet though but that's only over a six year period.

I'd go with Namrick too: 3/8" diameter, 1 1/4" long set screw (9/16" spanner size) https://www.namrick.co.uk/acatalog/Home_U_N_F__HT_Hex_Set_Screws_17.html (37p each). Buy some 3/8" spring washers too: https://www.namrick.co.uk/acatalog/Imperial_Spring_Washers.html

If you are ordering with Namrick you may want to go for their assortment packs of Imperial nuts and bolts/set screws, packs of imperial plain and Spring washers. Make the most of the postal charge. Useful sizing info: https://www.namrick.co.uk/acatalog/tech-info.html

Think the part number is HZS0610 if you want to buy from an Austin Healey or MG parts supplier, e.g. https://www.mgbits.com/contents/en-uk/p3992_Set-Screw-3_8_-UNF-x-1-1_4_.html May also be a bumper mounting screw on big Healeys.
