[PostalRuhl (Bryan)]

Hello, these things are seemingly such a pain to find! If anyone happened to ha e some nylon tipped screws pls let me know thanks

Hi Bryan,

I've used loctite/super glue on my thumb screws.
Use 1 or 2 drops and invert them.
Works a treat! No marring. Easy fix. Have only used it for eyepieces/extenders etc not on paintwork (probably too hard)

Small Parts in Q'land have nylon tipped screws - all sizes.......

Bunnings sells nylon screws (M6 and M8) - they are FULL nylon, no metal. Jaycar also sells nylon screws in smaller sizes.

William Optics also USED TO sell M5 or M6 nylon/delrin tipped thumbscrews (spares from their finder and guide rings)

Wilso - wow I had no idea I could do that! The reason why I'm asking because I'm so sick and tired of my guidescope being scratched bit by bit so I'd lile to replace them with nylon tipped screws to avoid that. I currently have the guidescope rings that hold my orion 50mm guidescope. Also looking for a replacement focus lock screw for my William Optics ed70
