I Am Addicted to Belmetric
Be careful when you order from Belmetric before you know it you will be ordering every fastener you think you might need.
I also like their packaging and labeling. Here is what came in the mail today... Black interior finish screws & washers and speed clips...

Banned but not out, yet..

I would recommend checking into recovery and a couple of two day follow-ups. Don’t take them internally!

Oh and just to clarify, I did not need any of the speed clips, screws or washers right now. I'm assuming I will need them in the future...

They are a metric McMaster-Carr so yes I understand the addiction.

Just to add to the OCDness I would get one of those parts trays and put those in their own slot, peel the stickers and put them on the corresponding bin, along with notes as to where they go...
And there’s the rabbit hole |

It can happen to anyone.
I had a BelMetric addiction. It started with a washer, then it was 10 washers and one nut. Then it was just give me what can get here Tuesday. I’ve been clean since getting my car back on the road.

Have never used them, but will definitely check them out.
I went the other route - built my own chem stripping line to clean/recover used fasteners and parts and then had them re-plated at a local shop. Not sure which is worse... |

I don’t know about addiction, but I am seriously in love 🥰
They’re so good, I wish they sold more imperial stuff for my non-P-Car projects. |

The Belmetric guys are friends of mine and they are a very nice family operation.
