Does anyone have a half-inch length of this around before I have to go buy from mcmaster-carr and dent my wallet and be left with 99 screws or three feet left of threaded rod that will never be used? Ace has the size but not in brass.
I believe the brass screws I have been able to find are electrical screws commonly used in the U.K.?
Another close call on finding a threaded section cheap was a thumbscrew supplier, but the ad said "May not be fully threaded"..so I might have to contact them to find out. It would be only $5.00 instead of $20 at least for rod.
I cannot find a 3mm brass screw online to save my life and I really rather not try it with steel or stainless and hoping someone else has been down this road before or has lots of odd stock around they can help with. I simply cannot justify buying a 5lb. bag from INDIA but thats all that seems available on google.
And I know what your going to ask and no they aren't made anymore so replacement parts are out...
