Need some bolt help.
I'm wanting to replace the machine screws on the frame work of my Wedico with cap screws (bolt heads). I need 2mm diameter, at least 6mm long and stainless steel. Every time I go to McMaster-Carr I get more confused and I don't want to buy bolts I have no use for.
http://www.mcmaster.com/# Can anybody point me in the right direction please? |

Craig I went through it, and it seems that the hex head aren't available in metric sizes.

Re: Need some bolt help.
I looked at McMaster and I did not see any machine screws that small.
I checked "Micro Fasteners" They have the size you are looking for BUT they have a socket head (requires an allen wrench) A 2mm is .0787 dia. A standard US #2 is .086 dia. If you want to be adventitious you might be able to tap the holes with a #2 tap. I have seen a lot of #2 x 1/4 long brass hex heads in hobby shops. You might look across the pond for the metric sizes. Ken |

Look here----
http://www.microfasteners.com/catalo...cts/MSCHBS.cfm Or Here http://www.scalehardware.com/threaded-hex-bolts-c-1 See if you can figure out this site. This is the place I found .040'' rivets for my dragline in qty at a fairly reasonable price. http://www.chronos.ltd.uk/acatalog/S...___Screws.html Last edited by 9W Monighan; 09-08-2011 at 04:06 PM. |

Re: Need some bolt help.
Well poop, guess I just paint the screws to match the frame. Sure thought it would have been easier than that.
