Is Overland Metric still in business?

[Archengine]

I love their hardware kits and have reached out to them on their website's 'contact us' form five times over the last 3 months. I have not received a single reply. I checked my spam too. I then sent an email to their 'returns email' direct from my email, with no reply, just in case it was my computer browser not being compatible with their 'contact us form'. There is no other contact info listed on their website. I hate to ask here, but I need to order some hardware and if it can't be from them, I need to go elsewhere. I just really really want their's. Anyone have another contact point or know anything about their company? Any other good sources for a complete JIS kit? Thanks. Rob

Looks like they were (still are?) having some email issues (and supply issues?) update from 2 months ago.

Hi all - we are in the process of having another shipment sent and it has been slower going than we’d like. Hope to have yellow zinc back in stock by end August. Thanks to those for being patient!

Personally, I feel it would be worth the wait.

Thank you both. I had no idea Amazon had full kits like that too. And I somehow missed that Overland Metric has a forum page. Thank you.

I got some stuff from them last month. Took about a week after ordering before there was movement/communication. No issues with my order.

Thanks Ranchdawg, that's a good sign. I am not able to place an order for something that is not in stock though. So still trying to get in contact with them.

thanks,
Rob

Belmetric? Odd question for those that have ordered from them, from their website I can’t tell for certain:

I understand that the threads are metric ie. 1.25/1.50 etc, and the nuts & bolt heads are also metric…BUT…
are the nuts & bolt heads the actual same size as what we have on our Cruisers? ie, 10mm, 12mm 14mm etc & not some weird sizes like 13mm, 15mm, etc.

I’d like to try out BelMetric if they come with normal Cruiser sizes.

They list wrench sizes...all they sell is metric sized stuff....there are usually several different wrench sizes available per fastener size.

Thanks @brian and yes I understand that all they sell is metric size stuff but for some reason I’m unable to determine if the nut & bolt heads are what we have on our Cruisers, ie, 12mm, 14mm ect. I’m not really blind but I still can’t tell, Thanks.

I think it’s a “JAS” vs other thing; learned on here not the expert; but I know what you’re asking. On Toyota a M8 has a 12mm head, n but “other” can have a 13. Pictures above appear to be correct.

 

[John McVicker]

Got it now, thank you much @brian and @rlong .

A lot of places sell metric hardware, but Overland sells many bolts with captured washer that replicate OEM hardware. You can't find those on Amazon.

Try searching SEMS carpive washer or SEMS hex head on Belmetric website.

Yea it gets fun; my passion has been 1969 and <, I started with a 1962 high door post corrugated top FJ40 in “good condition” in about 1977 while my buddy’s dad drove a 67-68 FJ55! Then my buddy got a 1967 FJ40.. most the correct bolts for us have a straight screwdriver slot… anything past 1973 is “newfangled”. It’s “cute” you guys can buy matching hardware!

Luckily we parted out a couple fj40’s (we rolled and twisted the frame on his 1967 - FJ40 coming home from the strip club about when we all turned 21). I pulled every bolt… so I can usually find a period correct for the 1963 pickup in my stash.. not that I understood it would reach current (alleged) collectors value.. I think they just looked cooler!

edit: After @poboyblues12 confirmed he got his order I removed my links, don't want to detract from one of our vendors!

Just received an order from OM about a month ago. No problem.
