I used these 1/4-20x2 bolts to secure the chain plates, through the hull and through some backing blocks on the inside. They worked out really well, with the washers and nuts holding all the pieces together. Nice and sturdy!

I have made many purchases from Fairwinds for bronze fasteners for my vintage sailboat. All have been of great quality , fast shipping and a fair price for these hard to find bronze fasteners.

The photo is of an access cover that I made for the back side of the chainplate.

Fasteners were exactly as described. Great quality

I'm using these on the new keel and deadwood for a 14' Abaco dingy. Perfect bolts and excellent quality.

Just don't use the USPS shipping option. My bolts went all the way across the country and back to get to me, 8 days. Next time I'll just drive to Newport or use UPPS

‘Nough said.

It was a pleasure ordering fasteners from Fair Wind--quick and easy. They are a crucial aspect of the catboat rebuild I'm working on.

The order process was effortless. Shipping was fast. The cedar plugs looked great and more importantly fit perfectly.

Along with the acorn nuts, I bought the other fasteners needed to mount the license plate and frame to my trike. It's an anniversary edition, so it's finished with bronze accents, and good bike feng shuei (!) dictated a little creativity with a couple cans of spray paint and these acorn nuts.

The finish on them matches the emblems perfectly, and it ties everything together.

Boat stuff on a bike, yep!

Excellent product for subject project…

Service was outstanding. It allowed me to finish the floorboards on my 1966 O’day Daysailer.

Always top quality, fast shipping, great service!!!

Go to for quality hard to find fasteners, great service , fast shipping!!

My first order from Fair Winds. Didn’t know what to expect. Their website surprisingly provided an accurate description and dimensions for each fastener. That’s why I made this order. The products I received were exactly what I ordered.
The quality of fasteners is exceptional.
I will be a customer for as long as they are providing these great quality products. My boat project is looking fabulous!!
Thanks

I play around with Oldewood Canvas canoes and All wood canoes. And sometimes I’m looking for odd or hard to find quality parts. I am extremely pleased with all the hardware I have received from Faiwind fasteners. The hardware is perfect. Ordering is easy and shipping and packaging is great.

I don't often have a need for this sort of specialty hardware and fasteners, but a good resource to keep note of in the back of my mental rolodex. That being said, my mental roladex isn't what it used to be, so what better a way to remember that this resource exists than to buy one of their t-shirts? Shipping was prompt and I like both the color and the design. In addition, I get to incur my wife's wrath by adding to my extensive collection of t-shirts. :-)
