Aircraft fasteners are a critical part of airframe integrity, engine reliability, and safe operation. This collection brings together a comprehensive range of aviation‑approved nuts, bolts, and washers used by engineers, maintainers, and aircraft owners across New Zealand. Every item is selected for strength, certification, and compatibility with common GA and commercial aircraft.
Our range includes AN‑spec bolts, available in drilled‑shank configurations for proper safetying with lockwire or cotter pins. These bolts are manufactured to precise tolerances and are widely used in control systems, engine mounts, landing gear assemblies, and structural airframe applications. We also stock castle nuts, designed to be used with drilled bolts and cotter pins to prevent loosening under vibration — a critical requirement in high‑load or high‑movement areas.
For general fastening tasks, our selection includes AN lock nuts, offering secure retention without the need for safety wire, and AN washers in standard and large‑area formats to ensure proper load distribution and protection of mating surfaces. These components are essential for routine servicing, annual inspections, and minor repairs throughout the aircraft.
Aviation hardware must withstand vibration, temperature changes, and mechanical stress far beyond what standard hardware can handle. Every nut, bolt, and washer in this collection meets aviation specifications, giving maintainers confidence in long‑term reliability and airworthiness. Whether you’re replacing worn fasteners, completing a repair, or stocking your hangar with essential hardware, Pilot Shop provides certified aviation fasteners backed by fast local shipping and knowledgeable support.
