Replacement GPM Screws

[TheB1GDude]

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can purchase replacement screws for GPM parts from?

Specifically I have this part:



But do not have any screws for it - I can use the stock black screws to bolt the knuckle onto the car but it uses three small screws in each knuckle to hold the bearings in place and those are what I need to replace in order to be able to make use of this part.

I've looked through google at a few sites but have hadn't much so I wondered if anyone might know where I can get 6 screws that are:

Length: 5MM
Thread Width: 1MM
Head Width: 3MM
Head Type: Phillips

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks....

Couldnt you cut part of the screw off?

No the problem is the width of the screws - these seem to be smaller in diameter than the typical stock Xmod screw so I would basically be forcing it into the hole which would ruin the part.

order a new set exactly the same and then when u get them call the site and say i didnt get any of the screws to hold the bearings

I see the problem now. You might be able to find the right screws at RS. Not sure though. They have a pretty small selections on screws.

BTW: Non Skid I think that would work, but would make him feel guilty. But what ever, Just trying to help.

Thanks for the answers! I'll check RS later today!

NON_SKID:- I actually thought about doing that but everything comes sealed in little packets when you order GPM stuff! I wouldn't feel guilty about it I'm just not sure it would work because everything as I said is pre-packaged before it gets to the reseller.

Any luck finding them yet?

Nope - I tried your suggestion of cutting down some stock ones and using them! With a little bit of force I got them in the hole but the heads are two deep so catch my front wheels! With a bit of sanding I could make it work but to be honest I might just buy a new set!

I have a GREAT idea go to homedepot or any hardware store and ask if they have them. its a shot you can get. or try hobby shops they are bound to have things like that. i think nitro has screws that are kind of similar.

[coolcar24th]

Yeah hobby shops would most likely carry them.

did you try contacting atomicmods? i had a problem losing gpm screws, and they were able to find what i should buy. they have certain sets of replacements screws right on the website.
