Title: Screw Supplier Wanted Please
Post by: pgp001 on May 14, 2017, 11:27:07 AM
During the course of the last year I bought a packet of M1.2 Round Head Brass Screws approx 10 or 12mm long (they only need to be about 3mm long) to hold the cladding panels on my model mill engine. I have one screw left in stock so thought I would buy some more.

The problem is I have hunted every supplier I can think of to obtain these and nobody seems to do them. If I had not already had some I would assume they were not made, but I know they are.

Before I go completely mad can anyone on hear give me a clue where I might have bought them from. None of the suppliers at Doncaster show had any ideas either.

Thanks

Phil
