Title: Where to get 3/8" hex head screws?
Post by: solar value on May 08, 2016, 07:37:24 PM

Hi All,

Does anyone know where in Australia I can get the shorter 3/8" hex head screws which are usually used to fasten lamp sockets etc. under the playfield?

RTBB normaly has them. Can't see them in stock at the moment. I'd drop Nino a message and see if when they're back.

Are you after the #6 or #8 3/8 screw.  #8's have a wider thread. I've been caught out before.

Thanks, I'm after the #6, do you know if these are the #6 or #8? It says #6 in the title but #8 underneath.

Almost certain they are the six gauge as listed. I think I had the same concern when I ordered them. It was a while ago so maybe you might need to contact them to confirm.

 #6 for lamp sockets and the like. The #8 are used for assemblies such as drop targets, flipper brackets, etc.
