genepinefield Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I have a question about Strap screws and their female threads. Are they common ones available at DIY stores in the UK? https://concertina-spares.com/product/straps-screws/?v=3a52f3c22ed6 It seems that there is only one type in Japan, just because of the difference in screw diameter. https://www.yodobashi.com/product/100000001003884721/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have always been made specially for concertinas. Quote It seems that there is only one type in Japan, just because of the difference in screw diameter. https://www.yodobashi.com/product/100000001003884721/ I see there is another type, which might be suitable (depending on the diameters of the thread and the knurled top - what sizes are they?), on that website: https://www.yodobashi.com/product/100000001001931661/ I have found I can get suitable ones, in brass or stainless steel, by post from a UK supplier, but they have a metric M3 thread and can only be bought in packs of 50.

genepinefield Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) Thanks, Quote I see there is another type, which might be suitable (depending on the diameters of the thread and the knurled top - what sizes are they?), on that website: https://www.yodobashi.com/product/100000001001931661/ The product presented is for use at the top of the water crew handle. On other sites it was W3 / 16. I never thought I could use it like that. https://amzn.to/32YPfZy Quote I have found I can get suitable ones, in brass or stainless steel, by post from a UK supplier, but they have a metric M3 thread and can only be bought in packs of 50. Too many pieces. .. Edited January 11, 2022 by genepinefield add paragraph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
