knurled nuts

[merlin el mago]

Where to buy brass knurled nuts 2mm diameter?

 

[marce]

I havn't searched, but a somewhere that does parts fo RC cars and planes might be a good start.

 

[merlin el mago]

Thanks marce.

Cool,I was wondering what they were called myself.

Thanks Enzo, unfortunately don't sell to Europe.

 

[Enzo]

At least you have a point of reference. I have to think Europe has hardware distributors.

Have you looked in the electronics parts houses? Here I use Mouser, but you have places like Farnell and RS?

If McMaster doesn't sell overseas, perhaps they could tell you who does?

Thanks again Enzo.

Hi Felipe

Hi Felipe

I have some M2 ( 2mm ) plated-brass ones ( checked with magnet ! )...
...but not knurled.
Rare, to see knurled this size I reckon.

Is the thread standard metric pitch 2mm OD ?
Do you put them at the side of the cart; or on top of the headshell...
...just interested.
Have seen both ways...
...adjustment preference, I reckon.

I'm a bit fan of Nylon screws & nuts...
( sorry doesn't help much )

Cheers

Si.

Hi Si,

I use the m on the top of the headshell.

Cheers

Why not just non-magnetic hexagon ones then & a teeny-weeny spanner ?

Just wondering if you could carefuly epoxy-on some 'finger twidlers' to regular nuts.

Mmm...

Si.

Finallys just bought at the same web dealer brass hexagon not knurled but can't be aesthetic & usefull than knurled.

Hi again Fellipe

I just measured some spare cart screws I have here...
...they are actually M2.5 threads.
Are you sure yours are 2's...?
...seems a bit too small to me.
I think the ones I have here are pretty standard.

Cheers

Si.

 

[merlin el mago]

Hi Si,

Now I have installed M2.5 threads but arent' brass, I ordered by mistake brass M2 threads. Do you have nylon or brass M2.5?

Cheers
Felipe

Hi Felipe

Yeah...just had a look.
I have some nylon 6BA with stainless dome-nuts...
...bit TOO big...probably wouldn't fit your ( Denon 103 ? ) cart.
( nice NUTS ! though )

What I do have, is 2 spare Aluminium M2.5 hexagon nuts.
Also some stainless M2.5 cross-point screws...
...not sure if they are long enough though.

Do you need screws as well ? or you got those ?
If so, how long a thread ?

If you want 'em Felipe, can mail 'em to you next week...
...probably take ages ( Christmas ! )...
...My local post-office looked like the retreat from Stalingrad this week !

Cheers

Si.

Let me know, no probs.

 

[merlin el mago]

Thanks for the offer Si, don't need them.

Cheers
Felipe

Pistachio's have a 'high grip' surface...
...and are non-magnetic.
Could be hard to tap the M2.5 though.

Si.

Merlin...your NUTS...
...we love it !
