2319 forum posts 13 photos | My apologies for asking but this is my last hope. I am after a few 3/8" BSF x 1"long stainless steel grub screws. This is for a custom built carp fishing rod rest project I am building for a co-worker. I have trawled the internet for hours and searched all the usual suppliers, I can buy any thread apart from the one I want. Does any one know if such a thing is still avaliable?
Thanks for any help,
Tony |

They are also known as "socket set screws" may throw up a few different results on your favorite search engine.

Oh whoops sorry - looking again at your post I see you need BSF . It is worth contacting him however as I've found him very helpful and quite quick. Regards Norman |
