British Fasteners, Screws and Nuts
British fasteners were created to meet diverse fastening needs. Although metric fasteners are more common among modern equipment, older components made in the United Kingdom before 1974 are often equipped with British hardware. At Metric & Multistandard, we offer British fasteners including hexagon head cap screws, socket screws, nuts, and machine screws to get you the hardware you need.
