Scared Stiff - crate screw size (resized).JPG
#1 4 years ago

bought Elvira and the previous owner "didn't know" that one of the crate vover (A-21335) screws is missing. Nothing mentioned in the manual, can't find anything anywhere, what actual size I have to buy in order to replace it. Only know, it's def. smaller than 6/32".

How has any ideas and where to order ... as I might need two in order to have a similar look of the screw head.

Thanx

If you have any local hardware shops near you take one there and they will get the appropriate size and length for you.

thanks for the reply ... 4/40" is a notch to big,checked that, but my pliers can't go smaller than that size ... so it has to be a fraction smaller. Local hardware shop is not possible, as we have back here in Europ metric and not US measures

Try a RC (Radio Controlled) hobby store - I have found lots of oddball size screws there. They are used on model airplanes, boats, etc.

thanks for all the advise ...well, next visit to US / Canada I hope to remeber to take one screw for reference with me. Done some work on the machine yesterday and found the missing second one in the cab next to the transformer ... so all fine and I am happy
