Warbird Information Exchange

I want to learn more about all the types of nuts, bolts, rivets, and fasteners used on airplane parts. Is there any sort of guide book, or even a parts store that has a catalog with all the types of aircraft hardware out there?

Thanks,
Nathan

There is the Pitman Aircraft Mechanic's Pocket Manual, Which has changed very little over the years. Get an early one and a late one for reference. Ebay is your best shot - $5-20. The one at my desk is a 1942

Genuine Aircraft Hardware http://www.gen-aircraft-hardware.com Has a pretty good browsable online catalog

Another one is the Standard Aircraft Handbook:

& AC 43-13, 65-9, 65-15A & 65-12, which are all available from the FAA website for free in PDF format

Barnes & Noble also carry most of the stuff listed so far
