Have a job that is screwed together with 1/2" hex head x 1/2" galvanized
coach screws.

Having great difficulty finding coach screws this short .............. I
could use 12mm metric, even pay for Stainless if need be ............. but
in urgent need of 2 coach screws.


I can go as long as 1 1/34" but no longer ,,,,,,,,,, holes in mounting
plates already exist for 1/2" screws ... so can't use smaller.


Anybody any idea where I can get them?

Gee, 1/2" long means about 4 threads. Not much holding force.

It's holding 2" thick plywood onto supports ... can't go longer as it would
go through the wood ... can't use through fittings ....
It came with 1 1/2" coach screws, just need to replace a few.

Ah, 1 1/2". I just saw the first reference (1/2" hex head x 1/2" ) and reacted.
Should read whole post.
