Brass fastening materials
Brass fasteners – classic fittings for clean installation and restoration.
This subcategory contains brass hardware for rowing boats: perfect for wooden wherries, C-boats and restoration work where look, corrosion resistance and hand-tight operation matter.
What’s included
- Brass wing bolts – e.g. M8×12 and M8×16 for quick hand adjustment.
- Brass knurled nut – secure hand-tight fixing without tools.
- Brass cross plate & carriage-bolt backing plate – spread load and protect thin wood or laminate.
- Plastic nut with M6 brass insert – lightweight, finger-friendly locking with metal thread.
- Empacher steering-cable guide, brass – durable cable routing for a crisp helm feel.
Use cases
Brass is widely used on classic wooden shells and C-boats because it finishes neatly, cleans easily and avoids galling compared with stainless-on-stainless. Use cross/backing plates to distribute load on thin decks or wooden panels.
Practical tips
- Tighten hand-operated joints (wing bolt / knurled nut) hand-tight and check periodically.
- On wood, combine with a suitable backing plate to prevent imprinting.
- Be consistent with materials; mixing brass and stainless can cause cosmetic staining over time.
