Hello - anyone got the screw that attaches the side fence to the base of a 71. I've tried a few threads I have around, but no match yet, and I've been told it could be a Stanley custom thread. Any help appreciated.

I've had a hunt through and found a screw that fits my seventies vintage no 71 ok. It's not a Stanley original so the head is a bit smaller but it works fine with a washer.
You're welcome to it; PM me if you want it and I'll pop it in the post.

hello Andy - got it and it is bang-on... brilliant how such a small thing can transform the tool's usefulness. Very many thanks, I am indebted... anything I have you need just ask (within reason 
You're welcome. Just remember to post pics of it in use!
(I've only used the fence on mine once, making grooves for bookcase strip, when really I should have used a plough plane. I've now corrected that lack, a few times over. There are so many nice ploughs out there!)

Try this old thread instead:

(No spares left I'm afraid, but at least you will know what to look for.)

Hi All
I too have the same problem of a missing screw on my Stanley 71 (not sure of the vintage). On reading the above I decided to measure the threaded holes in mine and they turned out to be 5/32 Whit so it seems there was some variation over the years. I have a tap which I used to check it with but not sure about a die (markings are a bit iffy) . When I get or confirm that I have the right die I will try and make one in my little lathe. I won't be able to buy a 5/32whit screw but if any body needs a 3/16 screw try GWR Fastenings who have an Ebay shop with free P & P.

For anyone who doesn't have a fence but does have access to a 3d printer there is now a fence available to print at Thingiverse - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1217738
The files are totally free and the original design is up there to, so can be modified by anyone.

There may be no need to make one. The 2 screws that attach the frog to the base of a Stanley bailey plane are a match for the Record 071 clone. Try that in your Stanley model. If it fits find a crappy plane for a £5er and cannibalise it for spares or maybe you've already got a spare from an old plane you don't use?

Plenty of sources on ebay, eg https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/333143780761?c ... gJHdvD_BwE
Search for 5/32 BSW screw.
