Mellon air bolts... and where else to buy parts?

[KBR97]

I really like the stainless steel .177 bolts that Mellon has on his site for only $12, but I also see that he stated on March 7 that he is 6-7+ weeks behind and things aren't getting better.

What other sites can I find parts like he offers and not wait 2 months or more? Or is his stuff good enough that I should just suck it up and wait..........a long time.....
Btw I'm specifically looking for a SS bolt with a nice looking handle.

Don Cothran makes some real nice parts all stainless too.

You may not have to wait that long mr KBR.....my mellon order made on Mar 20 shipped yesterday so it was less tha 3 weeks 
DC stuff is good too

Yep, I'm pimping the man's stuff 

Don Cothran's extended bolt probes and handles are outstanding.  His threads are sharp, no galling and the finish is excellent.

I have some on order right now

You don't make your own?

I checked out cothran's site but I don't see the bolts, just bolt handles. And I don't see prices for anything either 

Do I have to email him to place an order?

If I remember correctly you do send him an eMail with what you want and then he sends you an invoice and you pay it.

But I also thought he had a page with prices.

Your on the wrong page mate!

On the main page, look to the right.
You seen shopping, click on it.
It takes you to another page.
Click on Submit Query (don't pay any attention to the other stuff).
Now you go to another page that shows all his parts and the prices.

I make my own handles but when it comes to a bolt probe I leave that to the pro's .... I'm just a hobbyist 

[bgmcgee]

Well you're handles are top notch Michael.  I guess it depends on what you order from Mellon, still waiting on my order placed February 16th.

[quickster47 †]

I guess that just goes to show you how long it's been since I ordered any STUFF from Don. 

In the old days I would just call him and place an order.

Got it, thanks!


These end caps are advertised for 22xx but it should fit the 13xx as well no?

no ,the tube sizes are different .13xx are 3/4" ,2xxx are 7/8"

Ok thanks for clearing that up eric.

The wait on Mellons orders depends on what you order, and what he has on hand evidently. My first, larger order took 2 months, the second (2 - 22xx power adjusters) took a week or so.
