Where can you get replacement screws from?

I have several missing screws from extention tubes or barlow's. I think I may have posted this before but cant find the old post.

Thanks
Sandy

Sandy we have a place in Ballarat called Bolts and Fasteners, and they sell every imaginable screw and thread fasteners one could wish for in any size from small to big.

It is a place like this, that specialise in this trade where you would have your best chance.

Sandy,

Try the Nut and Bolt place on Dunlop St, North Parramatta. I went there and they seem to have everything you coudl want.

Take the items with you so they can work out exactly what you need. If you can find out before hand thread sizes etc that would be good. Try emailing the manufacturer for this information.

Hi,

There is a large variety in Bunnings as well. The threads will be metric if it is GSO gear (also likely if from Bintel), but you will find it almost impossible to get those knurled heads, the only thing available will be one of the standard head types. Take your item with you to try them out.

My Bintel e-tube has a metric screw M4 x 0.7, and the Bintel barlow has M3 x 0.5.

Cheers
