peter richards Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 which type of head do you want or all of what you posted , 100mm long, we have a good timber merchant near where we live chances are they should have what you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 Pozi is prefered, but we'll take what ever. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 so thats a 1000 posi 5or6mm 100 long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 just phoned them up , probably the reason you cant get 100mm long is the diameter is to small , so they would snap , 10mm is the smallest they do , i take it its wood screws you need so spax are £146 for a 1000 and a cheaper type is £108 for a 1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 There's no way you'd get 100mm at 6mm, unless maybe it was a special order. We've had similar problems in the past we had to bodge our way around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 What do you need 100mm self tappers for? Is it going into sheet metal. you could pilot a hole and then use any screw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
