    Default Sourcing small screws

    Hi all..
    I need a number of 3/32 Whit slotted round head machine screws.. Does anyone know of a supplier in Oz ?.. to make it more difficult, they have to be bright !
    Tried a few model supply places... mainly US threads or Metric nowadays ..

    Hi Ken, had a look on google, and seems that no one in this country does anything that small, found 5/32 but that's as small as the go.
    Hopefully BaronJ migh chime in and source some for you.

    Hi Ken, Kryn, Guys,

    I'll have a look around for you. Though I suspect that any I might find could be, not as bright as they originally were. I say that because I have a new box of 1/2" X 1/4 BSF hex head screws, that are already rusting in the box.

    Ken: Can you confirm 3/32" BSW, because that is not a standard Whitworth size.
    Best Regards:

    Hi Ken, I would try Keables P/L in Melbourne.
    In the past they have been able to supply hard to find fasteners.

    Hi Ken,

    Have a look at "EJWinter.co.au" they manufacture for various people. They trade as "Bolton Scale Models"

    Now since 3/32" is almost spot on for 7BA, you could use that size. EKP Engineering here in the UK have them in stock.

    The USA thread 3-48 ASME is another alternative.
    It's 5.25 thou larger in diameter, but has the same 48 tpi as 3/32 BSW.

    How many do you need Ken? I'll be in Singapore tomorrow and there's a screw shop that has an enormous range of screws, including a lot of old stock in odd sizes. I happy to wonder down there and see if he has any.

    Thanks Chris..slotted round head is my priority, but a mix of whatever he has would be just as good.. 1/4 inch long would be max. about 20 should keep me in screws for a while
    Appreciated.

    Ken.
    I couldn't find anything on line that went below 1/8" BSW. I found several American gauge sizes similar but at 60 degree thread angle.
    All the lists and tables that I have don't go smaller than 1/8" BSW.
    Where did you get your list from ?
    Thanks:
