hi william

if you are going to use them for the track pins my advice is dont most if not all of us over time have or will replace them.
drill the trackpin ends a pain in the ass but worth it :)and put small washers on and then hold with split pins,the starlocks will rust loose their grip.

regards

Thanks Bob for the link but the starlocks we need are special offer by this company. You must order 10000 pieces.

Colin the starlocks are for a friend off me and i have told him also that you better can drill the trackpins. But still he prefere the starlocks.

So when somebody knows a adress where you can buy this type off starlocks ,we need 400 pieces, i would be verry thankful.

Thanks William

William, there are star locks available on eBay. For example item number 320895687038 on ebay.co.uk has a bag of 100 3mm ones for 8.55ukp, and item number 190670501802 on ebay.ch has a bag of 10 at 2,53chf. It would definitely be worth contacting the seller and asking for a price on 400 - they usually buy them in in bulk and make their profit selling them off in small quantities, so 400 should be much cheaper than 40 x 10.

There may also be cheaper ones - these were the first ones I found.

If the UK company won't ship to Switzerland, which I really can't imagine in this day and age, let me know and I would be happy to buy them on his behalf and post them on to him.

Adrian.
