SCREWS > Thanks Everybody - Got Screws

[askimball (Doc)]

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...
8 x 32
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
