Tin Ware Screws M6?

Post by Cob20 »

Hi folks,

Just a quicky.

The van is in storage so to save me a round trip just to check, can anybody confirm the thread size for securing my bottom tins. JK sell them and list them at M6 (I wont be buying them, work are happy to 'lend' me some, so just need to confirm). I did have a quick look when I last had the van out, knowing this job was coming up and they were around that size, but with mine being a CU and US import, I was thinking they maybe 1/4"

Either way I can always run a tap down if need be.......

Help please! :ok

Yes M6x12, you need 34 of them. Socket cap (Allen screws) are best.

Thank you.

As the only ones I have to do are on the bottom I was considering using some studs and nuts/spring washer combo. Will have a weigh up and see.

Thanks for the input!
