Microfastener lists them all the way down to 2-56. For their prices the source has to be China so all bets are off on quality. That's what I like about aames, you get aviation quality fasteners-at a ridiculously high price. However, usually what we are securing with a 6-32 screw is not life endangering if a failure occurs. From my experience with a Chinese fastener the failure will come with the original tightening, if at all. Usually the problem will be the Torx broached six point hole will strip out. In that case we are right back where we were with the Phillips :confused:

Thanks for the link to Microfasteners. Unfortunately they don't seem to have #8 screws longer than 1/2 inch. Was hoping to go with torx or allen heads to attach the capacitive plates inside my tanks, but those need to be at least 8R14. The search continues...

Socket head screws
Somebody was asking about socket head screws. The link I posted was right to that page. McMaster is also a good source for wobble Allen driver bits.
I get my cad plated 100 degree countersunk screws from ACS and live with the Phillips head. Once they show any wear at all, I throw them away. Ed Holyoke |
I'm guessing that no one has been able to source 100 degree, flush head, torx fasteners for structural use, such as the fuel tank and inspection panels yet, have they?
I have browsed the micro fasteners website, but they are stainless screws, which are a bit softer than the AN screws Van's supplies. I am not sure I want my fuel tanks held on with them. McMaster only has 82 degree screws :-( |
