John Reilly Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Good morning. Can the four little blocks for inside the screen frame for receiving the two long and two short screws from the stanchion tenon plates , be obtained. I cannot find them listed. If not, does anybody here know the thread sizes for the two different screws so I can perhaps make them. Regards John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DesNoble Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hi John, The you can buy the screws from Rimmer. The thread size I think is BA. I had a problem with the corner ones as they are very similar, but different from UNF. Note I'm doing this from memory so not 100% certain other than to warn that there is a tiny but significant difference in the thread. Des. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Reilly Posted February 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Thanks Des, I will check Rimmer. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iain Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 I think I’d check with a.n.other supplier. I don’t have much if any confidence in the aforementioned. Iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Vincent Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Try reading this. Rgds Ian PS At the time I 'did' my windscreen I didn't know the screws were 10-32 UNF and I used 2 BA which will fit. And if the threads are shot then 5mm are slightly bigger and no one will spot the difference. Rgds Ian Edited February 4, 2021 by Ian Vincent Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) I believe the corner brackets are tapped m4 rather than BA. The correct countersunk screws for those m4 threads are supplied with each bracket. pt no TR3WSCB I have some NOS spares somewhere if any one gets stuck.

John Reilly Posted February 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Rimmer do not supply the frame blocks, only the corner pieces. I guess its back to the handiwork with files and taps! The earth pin (brass) of an old "flat pin" 3-pin electric socket looks like a candidate base albeit a bit slim. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 I seem to remember I made a new one from brass. Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Reilly Posted February 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Yes Bob, it makes sense to make them from non-ferrous, originals were mild steel and totally rusted, had to be cut out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
