RFQ: Need Screw Replicated:

[dcwilliams29id]

I need a screw manufactured as I am unable to find a replacement, and the slot on the original is damaged. Following are pictures of the item:

Can someone please let me know a ballpark for what this would run, and what measurements I would need to take in order to have it replicated? I would like one or two manufactured, and if they fit properly, I would probably order a small batch of them.

Thanks,

Chris Williams

You would need to provide the diameter of the shoulder (just below the head)
and overall length for someone to venture a guess. From the pictures it could
be the size of a pencil or as big as a train car axle (from what I see). Use a ruler
and approximate for a ball park price.

I took the following measurements with calipers from the screw:

Overall Length: 2.90" long
Diameter of screw: .23"
Threaded end of screw .26" of threads
Diameter of Head: .30"
Depth of Head on Screw .10"
Length of screw shaft with threads 2.80"
6 threads in .23"
Looks like perhaps 30 threads per inch (I would like to verify this with a nut at a local hardware store.

You will not find anything at a hardware store with these dimensions. The screw might be a 1/4-28.

I figure somebody with a screw machine and a mill could make them, I would
figure about $100 for 2? Too long and skinny to be made on a fixed headstock
lathe with out hassles.
