Stanley plane parts

[AldgateCC]

Does anyone know where you can get the toescrews for the handles on Stanley Planes? I have been told that Stanley no longer offer them as a spare part.
I think they are a 7/32 Whit thread (20 tpi)

a couple of thaughts.

try woodworks book & tool they may have some.

perhaps the record part will fit?

May be a retap job

if you are desperate souldnt be hard to fabricate.

The best way to find the sorts of things you're looking for is to go second hand. I don't know where you are calling from but here in Melbourne I would be looking at the Tool Exchange in Keilor Rd Niddrie or another option is to try the Hand Tool Preservation Association of Victoria (which I don't have the contact details of on me) but you will find them with an internet search. They will put you in touch with one of their members who collects planes and these guys have boxes and boxes of spare parts.
