Ueee 11th November 2013, 10:10 AM Hi all,
Does anyone know where i can get # sized UNC or UNF machine screws? I need some for the Rivett but have come up blank with all the places i could thing of. Small parts and bearings, Reeves in the UK, RS, ebay......
Taps seem to be easy enough to find.
The biggest challenge is i really want slotted Philister or Oval heads.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Ew

Anorak Bob 11th November 2013, 11:19 AM I don't know how small you want to go Ew but some hobby shops sell packets of numbered UNF/UNC fixings but usually as socket head cap screws. Try Searles over here - Untitled (http://www.searlefasteners.com.au)
If they have something and won't post them I can pick them up and send them off to you.

Ueee 11th November 2013, 11:28 AM Tiny Bob. #3,#7 and #12 were the originals used. All slotted.
Hi John, thanks for the links, you must have googled a different phrase from me, but unfortunitely they are all socked head.
I was thinking something along the lines of a model engineers supplies place, but all the ones i have found seem to have BA screws.

bob ward 11th November 2013, 01:06 PM Number screws are still in common use in the US. Apart from that I can't offer much help.
rogerbaker 11th November 2013, 04:02 PM Try Keables in A'Beckett St Melbourne.
My experience is if they havent got it you wont get it anywhere.

Hunch 12th November 2013, 08:55 AM Was after a few fillister head screws myself recently in 8 and 10/32 for an American machine, the place I tried which usually has everything, said I'd be unlikely to come across anything locally, so I settled for some shcs....as the aesthetics weren't a high priority.
If cheeseheads or pan heads are close enough, I'd imagine they would be available....if the imperfection doesn't eat away at your insides. :wink:

Ueee 13th November 2013, 09:15 PM Thanks for all the replies guys.
The Spruce airplane place looks good. If not i have found out i can get a range of them from McMaster Carr or this place Micro Fasteners (http://www.microfasteners.com/)
Johnno, the place you linked "minibearings" is another arm of small parts and bearings. And yes, their website is painful to navigate.
Cheers,
Ew
