1/4 20 x 1 Socket Cap Screws in the UK??

[Damian Grady]

Hey there,

Just received my EPIC-X and need some 1/4 20 x 1 Socket Cap Screws for a couple of configurations I'd like to try out but I just can't seem to find anywhere that sells them in the UK. I've tried the usual suspects - B&Q, RS, Screwfix etc.

I've tried with the UK equivalent M6x25mm but the thread is too tight compared to the 1/4 20 x 1 and so they're no good.

Anyone who has found somewhere in the UK that sells these things in quantities of less than 100, I'd appreciate the heads up.

Try Buck & Hickman they have branches in the U K.

Just found these, not black though:

But Red also sells bolt sets:

Namricks, down here in Brighton (well, Hove technically), will do pretty much anything you want nut and bolt wise, in any quantity.

You can also order online, I think - http://www.namrick.co.uk/

They're super nice guys, too!

Cheers,
Dom.

Indeed, but I expect Red cut their threads UNC which is an American standard. BSW and UNC are interchangeable in practice of course

I recommend these guys: http://www.margnor-online.co.uk/contact They stock far more than their website shows, and sell down to units of one. I've become a regular customer, and still can't believe the number of times I come away from their little store with exactly what I needed for so little money that I felt almost embarrassed as the guy manually wrote out my sales ticket, calculating items in single digit pennies... Good people.
