Hi,

I have a couple of holes threaded ME 1/4" x 32, I thought I had some grub screws to fit but apparently not, the ones in my tub marked as 1/4 by 32 are too small, duh!

What size grub screws do I look for, 10-32?

Cheers

Roger

10-32 is too small as they are only about 3/16" OD and wrong thread angle. You will probably have to thread some rod and make do with a slot rather than a hex socket

I've decided to drill out and thread for M8 rather than mess around with making some that would have an inherent weakness of a slotted head.

Thanks for all your advice chaps.
