Oddball screw size retailers

[sihollies]

HI All,

I am hoping that I can glean the wealth of knowledge & experience here?

I am in need of a small quantity of some 3" x 6 screws, or whatever that equates to in todays dimensions and am hoping that someone here can point me in the right direction as to where I could possibly buy some?

As always, many thanks in advance

Simon

I'm not quite sure what exact size screw you are asking for - do you mean an old size 3 inch No 6 , screw? As this is very thin you are going to be limiter to about 1 1/2" long

so from the chart above you need a 3.5x80mm screw, screwfix do a 4mm which may work for you? Timco C2 Strong-Fix PZ Double-Countersunk Multipurpose Premium Screws 4mm x 80mm 200 Pack - Screwfix

I suspect he need smaller ones than that, hence the question.

Given them a ring a few times and they have a colossal stock of all different sizes and threads. Reasonably priced too. Winner.

fair enough, my point was to clarify the size needed in metric

Thanks very much for the input and advice.

I will look through all the links and I'm sure I'll find what I need at one of the retailers.

Thanks again,
