Screws for stock iron

lugerholsterrepair · 03-19-2013, 05:11 PM

take it to a local hardware store and use their ability to determine the actual thread specification for the stock iron screws by trying samples of screws in the threaded portion?

John, This would be a useless enterprise..I had a very knowlegeable machinist make me a half dozen screws. He tracked down the information and made me screws that are perfect.

No reproduction stock iron I know of uses the same pitch as an original. I can contact Ken and see if he can remember all that info..I forget if he bought or borrowed the dies to make my screws. But he knows what they should be.
