WTB: Carriage Bolts for CPs

[Luigi]

Hi guys

I'm searching for some carriage bolts in small size for fixing controlpanels.

I mean these:



Here in Germany I can only find those screws in larger sizes (5mm and more) but I need small ones (3-4mm) for the controlpanels.

Can you tell me if and where you guys get them from?


Thanks.

The byoac vendors sell black ones in two lengths.

I've been looking at divestar. edit: divemaster 

Happ black powder coated carriage bolts .25 each these are hard to get
  Carriage bolt 10-24 x 3’’ black
 Carriage bolt 10-24 x 2’’ black

To be honest, I don#t know what those measures mean? 3" and 2" ist the length I guess.

But what means 10-24? What is the diameter of the screws?

The 10-24 has to do with pitch and thread count. I believe the actual diameter of the thread portion of these is around the 3/16" you are wanting. Either way, they are direct replacements for the control panels I have done.

You are correct - the 3" and 2" is the length. These are the standard diameter bolts for mounting joysticks and such. About the 10-24: The first number is the diameter, and the second is the threads per inch. There is a formula for determining what the actual diameter is, but a 10 is about 3/16 of an inch.

Make sure if you order from DM that you specify you want the nut as well - I ordered a bunch a ways back and only got the bolt...

Shardian is a faster typist...

Thanks. You are right....I need the nuts, too. Hehe, that would be "funny": I'd have the bolts but not the nuts

So 3/16" is ~4,7mm...hmmm...that's quite a lot. The ones I have are smaller....I will measure them....
