Have a job that is screwed together with 1/2" hex head x 1/2" galvanized coach screws.
Having great difficulty finding coach screws this short .............. I could use 12mm metric, even pay for Stainless if need be ............. but in urgent need of 2 coach screws.
I can go as long as 1 1/34" but no longer ,,,,,,,,,, holes in mounting plates already exist for 1/2" screws ... so can't use smaller.
Anybody any idea where I can get them?
Google......Modern Screws, Bexley, Kent
found them .. nothing showing on in-line stock, but have sent them an email
Gee, 1/2" long means about 4 threads. Not much holding force.
Blimey - are they still there?
yes ..but no joy on coach screws
It's holding 2" thick plywood onto supports ... can't go longer as it would go through the wood ... can't use through fittings .... It came with 1 1/2" coach screws, just need to replace a few.
Ah, 1 1/2". I just saw the first reference (1/2" hex head x 1/2" ) and reacted. Should read whole post.
Just an update ... found them on "ironmongery on-line" very helpful company and fast shipping without rip off p&p fees
