Anyone know where to buy coarse thread hex head wood screws? These are the screws used on B/W games for things like the backbox latch and the leg bolt plates.
Checked all the regular sources, only found the standard thread versions. Didn't see the anything at McMaster-Carr or Grainger either.
Any leads appreciated. I only need about 25 of them.
1/4 hex head, coarse thread, and longer than the ones that hold playfield mechanisms in place... I could use some, too! If you find a source...
These are called "Hi-Fast" screws. Search on part number 4608-01081-xx where xx is the length in 16ths of an inch. I believe the -11 variant are the ones used for leg plates and etc. - although check the measurement yourself (tip to bottom of head). Marco has a few variants in stock.
Or search for "hi-fast unslotted hex washer head" and you'll find a few other places...
Found this thread doing a google search, anyone ever find a source for these? Specifically the coarse hex heads used for the WPC backbox latch and plate? Not sure if part number is 4608-01081-10 or 4608-01081-11.
Thanks for the pretty picture but I'm looking for the actual screws, not a picture of the screw......
I think that these are the ones I used(but it's been a while): https://www.pinballlife.com/8-x-58-slotted-hex-head-screw-for-new-style-leg-bracket.html
I think I used 3/4 screws for bigger things. Trying to see if I have a package left in my parts boxes.

Slotted heads dont look factory, I think he is having trouble finding the OG style...

Marco also lists 4608-01081-10 and 11 but both are out of stock. The 10 is carried by Home Depot https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-8-5-8-in-External-Hex-Flange-Hex-Head-Sheet-Metal-Screws-25-Pack-41362/203448026 self tapping instead of just a point but that’s going in the wood anyway.
Look for sheet metal screws, you’ll find the 11/16” somewhere.
