Title: difficulty finding parts for a Shimano Bantam Mag Plus
Post by: Salmon53 on May 08, 2023, 03:55:56 AM
Hi everyone.  I just tore apart, cleaned and lubed my Shimano Bantam Mag Plus 251 SG XHS.  It is missing the stabilizer bar screw and a side plate screw.  Where can I find old screws like this?   Thank you.  Craig

the old screws will all still be metric.  with calipers, you can measure the diameter and length and you should be able to find a match.

I have old bantam parts. I think i have old (yet new) screws. Gotta pull the screws out of mine to match, and I'm not exactly getting the best track record for speed.
