Help me identify some old screws?
Exciting bank holiday monday ;)
I often get given lenses to repair or modify. It's not uncommon to find that someone has either tried to have a go at it themself and got in a mess, or that simply someone has used the wrong fitting screw driver at some point in it's life. This often results in the odd screw looking a mess or sometimes being completely unusable.
These are from lenses from the 60's, 70's usually. Sometimes early 80's. There is a common one that i come across, but I'm stuck on what exactly it is. Ideally I'd like to order a hundred or more just so I have them spare. So here we go..
Head diameter seems to be about 2.48mm.
Thread diameter seems to be about 1.63mm.
It seems to be 6mm long.
I found
this site. Am I looking for M1.6 6mm screws?
I'm a little confused as I assume because of the age of the lenses most would be imperial. Would that be a problem here?
Thanks for your help. I hope your day has been as exciting as mine :P
