Chris Wilson Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I just BZP (bright zinc plated) set screws. Yo could go semi exotic and use stainless ones. All available from a decent engineers merchants or Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I replaced mine with m6 stainless cap heads, about 20mm long - with penny washers. They're really cheap to buy a bag full in toolstation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 If it's the coarse threaded screws, I'd guess a 12x20mm would suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Going off at a slight tangent - I've got screws but am missing some of the plastic clips that they screw into. Anyone know where to get these from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good company, Toolstation. They are even open Christmas and New Year's Day near me in Shrewsbury! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I think they're part of the wickes group. I use them for everything! Long opening times, and their prices make them very convenient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M6 x 1.5 pitch Length about 15 to 20mm Hex or cap head screws. (NOT bolts, bolts have a length of un-threaded plain shank). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 You use old school, which I still do funnily enough. A 6mm shank screw is known as a .no12 in most builders merchants now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Chris, at least I know now what they're called and not to bother searching for them elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilkinson Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 That link I supplied earlier stocks loads of body clips and screws which are Supra specific. Basically they have virtually every clip or screw you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
