5/16 brass roundhead screws

[weidner]

5/16 Whit brass round heads needed , a couple of dozen , length not important , 1/2" would do .

Can some kind person point me towards a couple of dozen of these ? I need them to secure cylinder cladding sheet and suchlike on my Fowler .

Did the Pirate have a supplier at one time ?

You should be able to get them from a good Boat Yard !.

At least it's worth trying a boat yard as they have all sorts of brass fittings etc !.

Bob, you could try this, sounds like best quality Indian Engineering (at least they are not Chinese).

Bob,

Give me a ring early next week. I have the very same enquiry in for someone else and should have it boxed of very quickly.

Well done Joe . Fowlers use them so you should get rid of them all .

The lanolin aerosol is marvellous : economical and bang on target when used with the little pipey thingy . It also does duty as cutting lube .

i need a few to hold my fowler plate to the head stock rather than the cap heads i have in there at the moment :-/

I've got a large jar full of 1/4" x 28 UNF brass round head 1" long screws if any one needs some. Head diameter 15/32".
