Where is a good place to get nylon bolts to place on landing gear...I have looked in tower and either they dont have them or I cannot find them.

Ok I feel stupid...found them about 5 mins after post LOL

Lawdawg, I don't know what size plane you are flying, but if it is 40 size or larger, use at least #10 screws, and 1/4 would be better. I mounted a landing gear a 40 sized plane with four #8 screws and I would pop the heads off every other landing.

Something to keep in mind with the nulong bolts, you don't want to tighten them real tight. Bring them up with your fingers then use your wrench or screwdrive and give them a half turn more. The stretch and if you really tighten them down, they will be near the breaking point and the first hard landing they come apart. If you are trapped into a #6 or #8 screw use brass stove bolts or steel with a 1/4 cut with a hack saw at the head.

Last, I get all my nylon bolts at the local hardware store. They have a selection from #6 up to 5/16 or so.

There is also a site that is advertised here on RCU that sells nylon screws and bolts of all sorts and sizes. They announce their products by 'fasteners'. I don't remember the particular URL, but it pops up on a regular basis. They also sell the best servo screws, hex head with a built on washer, hex head type, and the wrench/screwdriver type tool that goes with them. I get both 1/2" and 7/16". I use them for more than just servo's.. hold on cowls, canopes, and anything small that a small screw will work with.

If I see that URl, I will edit this post with it.

I found it.

Also, as already stated, your local hardware store has a pretty good selection. We have an ACE hardware store nearby and they are pretty well stocked, however, I picked up a pretty good selection of hardware at the WRAM show and from RTL Fasteners on line.

DS.

Or just go to your local hardware stroe.

Tower carries several types. Here is one of them

I get all my fixin's from microfasteners.com. Good company, low prices and fast delivery.

Don't forget to boil your nylon bolts! Makes them much less brittle, especially for landing gear.

DU-BRO.COM

Ok new question...what size would I need for a seagull harrier 46 and is this something that will screw into the blind nuts?

You're gonna want to use larger sized nylon bolts than metal ones that are supplied with the plane. I did the same on a 40 sized Twist, knocked out the stock anchor nuts and replaced them with I beleive 6-32. Then I bought out my LHS's stock of 6-32 nylon bolts and kept them in myt toolbox. I kept on knocking the gear off (was trying to learn harrier landings) but never had a problem when I flew and landed the plane "normally".

Oh and don't forget to stock up on props, too...
