Yep, marked up Stew, mixing these up would give me nightmares :bang: This morning I've been looking at making an order for some 2mm screws.... What a price, these ARE expensive........very expensive...oh hum... :doh: Edit: Sorry, I saw M2 x 30 priced at 75 quid for x100, Kinda threw me :bugeye: 100 allen heads in 2mm x 16mm = 7.42 The same in slotted head is 3.11, half the price. In these small headed SS screws I notice the allen heads can round off in a flash. Would it be better to use slotted in such small size from members experience? I have a feeling they would be safer :scratch: |

You are quite right Darren, they do strip out easily. When I exchange an engine I usually include a few in the spares pack for when the new owner strips them out. If the matching of screws doesn't worry you, you would be better using the slotted variety. John |
