Brass plated steel machine screws, anyone?
I have some bookshelves that use machine screws and cross dowels to
hold their frames together. The machine screws are metric: M6 50mm long, brass plated (antique?) over steel and (here's the real killer) flat head (countersunk). As luck would have it, since moving house I am missing some of the cross dowels and the screws, so I need to find replacements. Ideally I would like to stick with metric fasteners, but here in the USA that seems to be a tall order, so I could switch to 1/4-20 at a pinch. I can find 1/4-20 cross dowels easily enough, but finding a source of brass plated flat head machine screws seems to not be so easy. Can anyone suggest a supplier who might be able to help (ideally staying metric, but going the 1/4-20 route at a pinch)? -- Peter Headland |
