Australian Supplier for Screws to Suit Hornby Surface Mounted Point Motor

[Dwarfboysim]

Hi all,

Looking for an Australian Supplier to source screws suitable for the Hornby Surface Mounted Point Motors.  Peters Spares lists a 13mm and 17mm option but they are out of stock.  Would appreciate if anyone here can point me in the right direction preferably already in AU.

 

Thanks,

Dwarfboysim

Try using track pins into pilot holes. These allow a bit of slop in the mounting.

There's nothing special about point motor screws - just use whatever you can get that is a slack fit in the holes in the frame.

Go on to EBay and get some from China. It is amazing the diversity of sizes and diameters they do. I try to source that sort of stuff from the UK, but you cannot get the range. Surprisingly the ones I have bought have been reasonable quality.

I have bought suitable screws from modelaccessories.co.uk. These are 2mm x 12mm self tapping screws. You may require different length depending on the thickness of any underlay you my have. They are silver in colour, but a dab of matt black paint soon covers the head.
