Title: OV 575 screw needed
Post by: JOHN I on June 06, 2015, 04:00:50 PM
Was giving a little TLC to my 235 and during re assembly the head popped off on one of these screws. Fortunately there was enough of the shank protruding to easily remove it from the spacer bar. Problem now is a replacement. Does anyone have one of these they are willing to part with?
Thanks-  John

This looks like a standard screw, has anyone sourced McMaster for these?

The size is 5-40 x 3/4 or 1/2 depending on the side. McMaster has them by the box cheap.

Could you possibly send me the link to McMaster  for these screws because they have them in phillips, but not in slotted, oval head.

Searched the internet for the 3/4", and could only come up with 5/8".  There was one site that had 1", and worst case I'd have to cut off a quarter inch.

The screw you're displaying is a 6-40, filster head, for the bridge plate.

Mike- Pm's replied to. Thank you very much!
