Zinc plated steel M6, 10 swg round head Hank bush Serrated sides.

Hank Rivet Bushes provide a simple solution to the problems associated with producing a deep tapped hole in thin sheet materials such as steel, stainless steel, aluminium and plastics. They can be fastened by a simple squeezing operation by hammer or press, thus obviating the need for expensive tooling. When installed they provide a strong anchorage against torsional resistances and pull out loads.

An industrial quality fastener used in automotive and commercial vehicle manufacture, maintenance and repair, domestic appliance and furniture manufacturing, sign making, sheet metal working and general light engineering.
