screw thread

PostPost by: bcmc33 » Fri Oct 01, 2010 10:44 am

Does anyone know the thread of the 1" long pan head screws that fix the lens on the S4/Sprint/+2 rear lights?

Major diameter 0.134" (3.4mm) x 32 tpi.

I have not found it in my engineers handbook, but I'm sure it must be in there somewhere. :oops:

Brian ,

I know these as 1" 6-32 Screws ( look up in a ANSI reference) I have seen/used #6 & #8 are a pretty common size on the early elan ( there are some #10"s as well) .

Thank's Roger,

When I said "found it" - that's where I found it. :)

Using socket head screws makes future removal and replacement easier. The heads on the normal screws alaways seem to end up damaged. Stig sells them http://www.a2stainless.co.uk/C-6-32-0-138-diameter_B22X6C.aspx
