Thanks! To me Army Navy was an annual football game between those two military academies and USS was U.S. Steel!AN stands for Army Navy and are small O.D. washers
USS stands for United States Standard and are larger O.D. and relatively thick
The other common washer designation is SAE which is in between the other two but not specified on the list
Yeah, I learned about AN fasteners and standards when I was doing my brake and fuel lines and was surprised by that too.Thanks! To me Army Navy was an annual football game between those two military academies and USS was U.S. Steel!
This is an awesome list. Thank you.Most of the fasteners used on the Tiger.
One noted exception are the Whitworth screws used on the seat frame.
I cannot see a method to post this as an Excel spreadsheet, so message me if you want one

as it's very difficult to find chrome plated screws, I opt for stainless
Based on a commercial kit I bought about 20 years ago, and fleshed out sinceIirc many years ago there was a fastener list on the old tiger mailing list. Is this based on that?
There also used to be someone who offered a full stainless steel fastener kit for those not inclined to trawl through the stores.
Good work... I can't recall who used to sell them.Based on a commercial kit I bought about 20 years ago, and fleshed out since
The cost for 4 each of 1/4 X 28 stainless bolts at hardware stores can be bought for less than the shipping charge for the four radiator bolts. Do the ones from this U.K. site have the lettering that matches the original? If so that would make it worth it to buy them in the U.K.

Never, ever use stainless fasteners on ANY part of the suspension, steering or brakes. It's much more apt to break as it is much more brittle than a grade 5 steel fastener. It's also liable to gall the threads.. You should always use anti seize if threading a stainless fastener into one of a different material.I bought a bolt kit for my Tiger from these guys: https://www.totallystainless.com/Catalog.html
It has the right size nuts and bolts. However, they are stainless and don't look original. That was not a concern for my project.
