I just finished putting the Phelps together, But I'm missing
2 - Screws:
#1 - Screw that holds the Crank Shaft Handle in.....???
#2 - The headless set screw in #79U-Shell Base Locating Strap...???
Would any of you guys happen to know the Thread Sizes for those 2 Screws..????

Doc
The two Screws are common hardware items and should be available from any good hardware store.
The setscrew for the locating strap is a 8X32 slotted setscrew about 1/4 inch long. Most setscrews made today are allen head.
The one that holds the handle on is a square head bolt 3/8X16 about 3/4 inch long.
Good Shooting

Looked all through my bolt box, had 3/8", but not that thread pitch...

Did you have any 8x32's
Thanks Lindy

Hey Doc,
I have both Screws in stock. For the handle, I have the square headed screw like Star used. Phelps sometimes used the square headed screw, and sometimes a set screw, both with the same thread.

Interesting,
I checked my Star and the size of the #79U set screw is #10-32. Was Phelps a different thread?
The square headed set screw for the handle on the same machine is a 3/8-16 x 5/8" screw.
Cheers,
Dave

Dave is correct, the set screw is a 10-32 X 3/16. It is the same for both Phelps and Star. However, the other screw that holds the locator strap to the reloader is an 8-32 x 5/16 fillister head screw. Both are available from McMaster-Carr, as is the 3/8-16 x 5/8 square head screw.

Indeed the Setscrew is 10X32 by 3/16 long, In the distance from where I measured it, to my computer keyboard it somehow changed from a 10 to an 8.
Good Shooting
