Jim, Have a look at metric flat head counter sunk. The heads are about the same as the b.s. ones. (8.0mm) Unified (American) ones are what you will have tried.
I support Ben's sentiments in thanking Michael R. for his efforts in producing these important fasteners. Next thing, all of us riveted carrier guys (and girls) will be scrambling to find BSF nuts. :-)

Well done Michael R !!
Lynn BSF nuts can be made from hex stock and a correct tap if all else fails  The hard bits are what we see here.

Lots of BSF nuts on ebay as well. They run around $6-$10 for 60, so approx 15 cents each. Hard to justify making them even for twice that price.

Got a bundle of the bolts from Michael today and they are sitting on my desk as we speak. Absolutely gorgeous. I grabbed a couple of new BSF nuts from the back room and the threads are also perfect. They will suffer a touch from the shipping and banging against each other in transit, so expect some slight burring, but once the nut runs on once, all is good.
The longer 5/16 ones will be nice, especially for the control panel. With the thick rubber gasket that goes between the hull and the control panel, it seems I could never find these bolts long enough to do the job. Thanks Michael for having these made up. It is a real service to carrier owners and restorers. Last edited by rob love; 02-12-15 at 19:00.
